    • Easy Chicken Dinner Recipes -->This collection of easy chicken dinner recipes features some of our favorite family dishes, perfect for making a healthy, delicious home cooked meal on a busy night! Getting a healthy, home cooked meal on the table every night can be challenging. Particularly with the demands of work, school, activities and social obligations, well, it can be the last thing we want to do at the end of the day. So I’ve got tons of easy chicken recipes at my disposal that I turn to when I need to whip something up for us on one of those busy weeknights.

      • Easy Chicken Recipes with Few IngredientsThese easy chicken recipes with few ingredients include some great healthy lunch and dinner options, all made with 5 or fewer ingredients! I am all about the EASY when it comes to cooking. I don’t like to fuss much over my food and I certainly don’t like to spend a ton of time in the kitchen at the end of a long day. Easy chicken dinner recipes and healthy lunch recipes with chicken are much more my style. (As are chicken recipes in under 30 minutes and, faster yet, chicken recipes in under 15 minutes. Cause life.) Speaking of life, a million trips to the grocery store also aren’t fun during a busy week. (Especially with little ones in tow!) So I’ve got these go-to easy chicken recipes with few ingredients that help me keep dinnertime simple. And my sanity intact. In fact, one of the first cookbooks I bought on my own, at a used bookstore in Washington, D.C., where I lived for a few years after college, was titled 3-ingredient recipes. I was pretty new to cooking and thought, I think I can handle that. My cooking skills have improved, but I still go for the simple chicken recipes…

        • Chicken Recipes in Under 30 MinutesThese easy chicken recipes in under 30 minutes are perfect for dinner on a busy weeknight! From one-pan meals to burgers, one-pot pastas to healthy salads, you’re sure to find some new favorites! Quick, easy and mostly healthy is pretty much the name of the game for dinner at my house. I love a home cooked meal and we eat a ton of chicken, which means I’ve come up with and found a lot of easy chicken recipes over the years. And this collection highlights some of my easy chicken recipes in under 30 minutes, when you want something delicious but need it on the table pretty quickly. Is that every single night for you too? We’ve got everything from skillet chicken dishes to chicken pasta and from soups and salads with chicken to chicken meatballs and burgers. All the chicken love! Many of these recipes use boneless, skinless chicken breasts (though you could substitute chicken thighs if you prefer) while others use ground chicken and some rely on pre-cooked chicken, such as a rotisserie chicken you pick up at the store or some leftover grilled or baked chicken. Lots of these 30 minute chicken dinners are complete meals but…
      • Healthy One-Pot Chicken DinnersHealthy one-pot chicken dinners are such a help on busy days! This collection includes everything from one-pot pastas and skillets to easy slow cooker and sheet pan recipes to help you get an easy, healthy and delicious dinner on the table any night! I am ALL about quick and easy meals. I cook our dinner 99% of the time, including on days when work has blown up in my face, or the kids have decided to coordinate their melt-downs, or we’re all just wiped out and hungry. And even though I love to cook, I definitely have those days when I’m just not feeling it. Enter some quick and easy one-pot chicken dinners for the win! These are great to have in your back pocket for busy days, busy weeks or in case of a “kids-are-making-me-crazy” kinda moment. (My husband also loves these meals because he’s on clean-up duty and it’s nice not to have a huge pile of dishes staring you down after dinner!) Many of these dishes are complete meals on their own. Others are low-carb as written, but can easily be paired with some rice, pasta, bread or potatoes to bulk them up a bit. Here are…
      • Slow Cooker Chicken RecipesThese hands-off slow cooker chicken recipes will put your slow cooker to work and have you coming home to a delicious, healthy dinner that’s ready to go! Some days, you just need someone else to make you dinner. I’m not talking takeout or delivery or a restaurant dinner. I’m talking about your crock pot or slow cooker. I find it supremely satisfying to go about my day, knowing that a delicious home cooked dinner is cooking up at home for me. I can play with the kids, take them to practices, run errands or just relax with a book and breathe easy. These slow cooker chicken recipes mean there is just one less thing to do in the evening and that’s a great thing on a busy day! This collection includes slow cooker recipes for boneless, skinless chicken breasts as well as chicken thighs (though you can usually sub either one).

Everything from one-pot veggie pastas to stuffed squash to chili to veggie burgers and hearty grain bowls and salads, there are meatless options here for everyone! I am a veggie lover through and through. 💚💚💚 I adore getting in as many vegetables as I can, throughout the day really, and I often make easy vegetarian dinners a couple of times a week. (Hello meatless Monday, I’m looking at you!) So over the years, I’ve created tons of great veggie-based meals that can stand on their own for lunch or dinner and be hearty and satisfying. And that are also mostly quick and easy, because I work as a health and nutrition editor and we’ve got a busy family so cooking on a weeknight needs to be low-key. My one-pot vegetarian spaghetti has been a hugely popular recipe here on the blog and you guys can’t seem to get enough of my grain bowls and salads. I know the feeling. 😉 I wanted to round up some of these in an easy-to-browse category that features…
    • Healthy Oatmeal RecipesA collection of healthy oatmeal recipes, including sweet and savory breakfast and brunch options as well as delicious, wholesome snacks and desserts. We are pretty much oatmeal fanatics in my house. ALL of us adore oatmeal and it’s a rare day that we’re not making or eating something with oats or oatmeal in it at some point during the day. And I mean all four of us – my husband, myself and our kids (currently ages 6 and 4). Our go-to 3-minute microwave oatmeal is a morning staple for my husband and a weekly staple for the kids and me. My kids eat overnight oatmeal jars at least twice a week for breakfast and we often have baked oatmeal another morning of the week. For school lunches or afternoon snack, we can be found munching on some no-bake cookie or energy balls with oats, oatmeal cookies of some variety or if they’ve asked nicely, I’ll make a batch of granola and we all just shovel handful after handful until it’s gone. Want to know some of our very favorites of the group below? OK, I’ll share! Our family’s favorite healthy oatmeal recipes: Healthy chocolate chip muffins Overnight oatmeal jars, 3…

Easy healthy chicken pot pie with biscuit top

I hope you all had a fun weekend! Here’s a few of my highlights:

  1. Lots of neighbor and friend time! Played at several different neighbor’s houses over the weekend and had a BBQ party in the park with some friends yesterday afternoon.
  2. I made chocolate donuts on Sunday morning — with both kiddos on stools at the counter helping me — and that was just the perfect way to start the day! 💕 Well, apart from the snuggles I got from them in bed that morning when they woke me up.
  3. J (age 3 1/2) got a new bike last week and has been riding it every chance he gets. He was a natural from day 1 and is so fun to watch!

As for the food, I’m so excited to share this recipe with you today!

But I’m gonna go ahead and admit right now that I don’t think I had chicken pot pie for the first time until I made it a couple of years ago.

I don’t remember it growing up and it’s not something I’ve ever had at a restaurant or a friend’s house.

But something about it called to me. The creamy chicken and veggies, the crusty topping, the all-in-one comfort food goodness. Who could resist?

And something about it called to you because several of you have asked for a lightened-up chicken pot pie recipe.

So I started to play with it. And right off the bat I had the filling figured out. The chicken, veggie and gravy combo was spot on. It was easy, it was healthy — no cream here — and it was pretty quick to put together.

My husband agreed, saying the flavor was perfect. 👌

The topping, though, is where I’ve roamed. I tried a homemade pie crust and it was OK. (I also cheated and tried a store-bought pie crust and it was super quick and just fine but still not great.)

Then I decided what this recipe needed was something thicker for the topping, something more filling, something worthy of covering that delicious creamy chicken and veggies mixture waiting underneath.

So I basically made a huge homemade drop biscuit and plopped it on top. 👍

And OH, was that not the perfect thing to do!

Maybe it’s the Southerner in me that leans towards the biscuit pot pie topping or maybe it’s that it’s quick and easy and lazy, but still homemade and healthyish.

Or that it’s ALL kinds of biscuit deliciousness piled up thick and high on top, just waiting for you to dig down into it. 🙌

THIS is my filling of choice, no doubt about it.

So let’s talk details and get cooking.

Notes on easy healthy chicken pot pie with biscuit top:

  • My portion here is for a hearty 6 servings. If you want a smaller portion, you can do 2/3 the recipe (still just use 1 egg for the biscuit topping) and bake it in a smaller casserole dish. I’ve done that too.
  • I use a rotisserie chicken for this – white and dark meats – but you can use all of one or the other or use some leftover roasted chicken.
  • The frozen veggie mix I use is peas, carrots, corn and green beans. Get your favorite mix. You can leave it in the fridge overnight to thaw or just thaw it under running water for a minute or so.
  • If you want a different topping, you can certainly use a store-bought or homemade pie crust.

I’ve also thought I want to experiment with a potato crust, though that’s straying into shepherd’s pie territory I suppose. I’ll get back to you on that one. 😉

Whether you grew up on this down-home favorite or you’re a late-in-life chicken pot pie convert like me, I hope you give this easy healthy chicken pot pie with biscuit top a try.

It’s sure to give you the warm fuzzies. 💕

XO,

Kathryn

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

For the filling:

  • 3 heaping cups cooked rotisserie chicken, chopped
  • 3 cups mixed frozen veggies, thawed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the gravy:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream), (I use non-fat)

For the biscuit topping:

  • 1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut in small cubes
  • 3/4 cup milk, I use skim
  • 1 large egg, (lightly beaten)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400. Spray a 3-4 quart casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.

To make the filling:

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together chicken, veggies, salt and pepper. Add to casserole dish.

To make the gravy:

  1. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
  2. Add flour and whisk to combine. Cook for 2 minutes, whisking occasionally.
  3. Add chicken broth slowly and whisk to combine. Add thyme.
  4. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce back to medium-low heat. Let mixture cook over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened.
  5. Add the salt and pepper and remove from heat. Add the Greek yogurt and stir to combine. 
  6. Pour gravy over chicken and veggies in casserole dish.

To make the biscuit topping:

  1. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
  2. Cut in butter chunks using a pastry cutter or two knives, until well mixed in and mixture resembles small crumbles.
  3. Stir in milk and egg until just combined.
  4. Dollop biscuit mixture on top of chicken, vegetable and gravy mixture in casserole dish and use your fingers or a spoon to smooth it out across the top. It’s OK if there are a few gaps - the dough will spread out as it bakes.

To cook:

  1. Bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes, until bubbling and top is golden brown. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

I use a rotisserie chicken for this - white and dark meats - but you can use all of one or the other or use some leftover roasted chicken.

The frozen veggie mix I use is peas, carrots, corn and green beans. Get your favorite mix.

I use white whole wheat flour but you can substitute all-purpose flour for the biscuit topping.

    Chicken pot pie is such a great dish. I love the healthy spin on this recipe. I, too, prefer using biscuits instead of pie crust. However, I must admit that I buy my biscuits from the store as I am lazy. I am always looking for new healthy ideas, I think this this one is perfect.

    Hi! I’ve made this recipe several times now, and I love it, but I have to say, the prep time takes me nearly an hour! I don’t understand how you prep this in 15 minutes. Can you offer any tips that you use to speed the prep time up? Thank you!

      Hi Erica! I’m so happy to hear you love this recipe! As far as prep goes, I’m definitely fast in the kitchen, but here’s a few tips to hopefully speed things up for you too! I try to chop and prep my chicken in advance (usually when I bring the rotisserie home from the store) so that way I’m just mixing it with the veggies and putting it in the dish. Then, while you’ve got the gravy going on the stove, use any down/waiting time to start getting the biscuit mixture ingredients out and start putting it together in the bowl. That way everything is ready at about the same time and you’re just layering it in the casserole dish to pop in the oven. I hope that helps!

      Hi Amanda! I don’t think the biscuits part would freeze well, either unbaked or baked (since they’d be sitting on top of the wet filling). But you could certainly put the filling together and have that ready to go in the freezer. You could even just store it in a freezer-safe ziptop bag or container so you don’t have to tie up your casserole dish. Hope that helps and good luck with the new baby!!

      Oh my goodness, I’m not sure what went wrong! This dish is only supposed to bake for 20-25 minutes. And this is a drop biscuit dough, and those are super fast to bake. I’m not sure if there was an ingredient issue, or an oven temperature issue or if you dolloped them in a big mound instead of spreading them out, but even so, I can’t see how in the world any biscuit would be raw after an hour in the oven at 400 degrees F. Maybe try again and make sure you’re following the instructions exactly? Sorry I can’t be of more help!

        I’m planning on making this recipe for dinner tonight and had this exact concern with the biscuits. Could it be an elevation issue? I’m at 3900 ft & had other baked recipes come out soggy due to the elevation. I’m wondering if that’s what may have happened here and if I backed off with the milk or increased the baking time would that help?
        Thanks for any insight.

          Elevation can certainly impact baking but it usually has to do with the rise and fall of baked goods. I wouldn’t think you’d have raw biscuits after an hour in the oven, even in the mountains. I don’t, however, have much experience with cooking at high elevation, so I’m not sure I can offer much advice to you on any adjustments needed. I found a couple of good articles on it if that’s helpful: https://www.tasteofhome.com/article/how-to-overcome-the-challenges-of-high-altitude-baking/ and this: https://www.wheatmontana.com/content/high-altitude-baking-how-make-your-recipes-work-mountains Would love to hear how it turns out!

    Would it be ok to use a flour alternative like almond flour instead of the white wheat flour for the gravy? I’m excited to try this tonight!

      Yes, I would think that’d be fine for the gravy. Might alter the taste a tad but shouldn’t make a huge difference. I don’t think it would be quite as easy a sub for the drop biscuit topping though; I think other adjustments would be needed if you were changing the flour in those. Hope that helps and hope you enjoy it!
