A simple chicken casserole packed with colourful vegetables in a creamy sauce, topped with fluffy thyme biscuits \u2013 the perfect family dinner. What I love most about this recipe is that it\u2019s a great way to use up leftover chicken from broth, roast, or a previous meal. Nothing goes to waste, and you end up with something truly delicious on the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This dish is inspired by the classic chicken pot pie, a well-loved staple in both American and British kitchens. Traditionally, the creamy filling is covered with puff pastry or pie crust, which turns golden and crisp in the oven. My version is a little different \u2013 instead of pastry, I use buttery thyme biscuits. They take a little more effort with rolling and cutting, but the result is so worth it. If you\u2019ve never tried this twist, I highly recommend it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I use store-bought puff pastry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, absolutely \u2013 puff pastry is a quick solution if you\u2019re short on time. Just roll it out, place it over the filling, and prick it with a fork so it bakes evenly. The pastry will turn golden and crisp, perfect for a quick but impressive dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to store your chicken pot pie? <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This casserole tastes best fresh out of the oven, but it\u2019s still delicious the next day. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 2\u20133 days. For the best texture, reheat in the oven rather than the microwave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
