Cheesy Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie

Categories Easy Recipes, Main Course

This cheesy biscuit chicken pot pie is the perfect comfort food dinner! I love how the biscuits bubble up and slightly over the sides of this, like fluffy nuggets of deliciousness. The center filling is hearty, flavorful and super tasty.

This is a perfect meal for a cool fall or winter night. It’s nice and bubbly when you pull it out of the oven and makes the room instantly feel cozier. We also love it in the summer when we take a break from the grill or for a Sunday dinner.
