How to make Chicken Curry Pot Pie with Biscuits

Prepare Biscuits

  1. 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.

    Step 1.1: Bake your biscuits for 6 minutes at 400°F

Prepare Filling

  1. 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.

    Step 2.1: Add oil, butter, or spray to a Dutch oven or large skillet on medium heat
  2. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

    Step 2.1: Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute
  3. Stir in curry powder, celery seed, and fresh thyme. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

    Step 2.1: Stir in curry powder, celery seed, and fresh thyme
  4. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes.

    Step 2.1: Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes
  5. Gradually whisk in the chicken bone broth and coconut milk until smooth. Let it simmer and thicken for 3-5 minutes.

    Step 2.1: Gradually whisk in the chicken bone broth and coconut milk until smooth
    Step 2.2: Gradually whisk in the chicken bone broth and coconut milk until smooth

Assemble and Bake

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 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.

  3. Arrange the biscuits on top of the filling. Brush them with egg wash.

    Step 3.1: Arrange the biscuits on top of the filling
  4. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

    Step 3.1: Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through

Tips & Tricks

  1. Adjust the amount of curry powder to your taste preference.

  2. 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!

  3. When storing the leftovers store the biscuits separately from the filling. Pour over and microwave to reheat.
