How to make Chicken Curry Pot Pie with Biscuits
Prepare Biscuits
Bake your biscuits for 6 minutes at 400°F. They will be underdone, which is intentional to ensure they bake fully once on top of the filling.
Prepare Filling
Add oil, butter, or spray to a Dutch oven or large skillet on medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, cooking for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
Stir in curry powder, celery seed, and fresh thyme. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes.
Gradually whisk in the chicken bone broth and coconut milk until smooth. Let it simmer and thicken for 3-5 minutes.
Stir in lemon juice, salt, black pepper, chopped roasted chicken or turkey, and frozen green peas. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Assemble and Bake
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pour the filling into a large baking dish or oven-safe skillet. Since I use a cast iron I did not need to transfer to a oven safe pan.
Arrange the biscuits on top of the filling. Brush them with egg wash.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Tips & Tricks
Adjust the amount of curry powder to your taste preference.
Ensure the filling is thickened before adding the biscuits to prevent them from becoming soggy. You can cook it a bit longer, but the pre-cooking of the biscuits helps with this!
When storing the leftovers store the biscuits separately from the filling. Pour over and microwave to reheat.

What can I use instead of coconut milk in Chicken Curry Pot Pie?
If you prefer not to use coconut milk, you can substitute it with heavy cream or a dairy-free alternative like almond milk or oat milk. Just keep in mind that this may alter the flavor slightly, so adjust the seasoning as needed.
How do I ensure my biscuits are perfectly baked on top of the Chicken Curry Pot Pie?
To ensure your biscuits are perfectly baked, bake them for 6 minutes before adding them to the filling. This will keep them slightly underdone, allowing them to finish baking on top of the curry filling for a golden and fluffy texture.
