I almost never watch Paula Deen's cooking show and yet somehow ended up catching an episode on how to make a quick and easy
chicken pot pie. With still plenty of Costco chicken breast in the fridge, this was the perfect solution to a quick and easy comfort meal that Ken would love. And love it he did.
The filling too salty so I would substitute the chicken stock with water next time. Instead of just peas, I defrosted a mixture of frozen corn, green beans, peas and carrots, and sauteed it along with more sliced carrots (Hint: use peeled baby carrots) as well as added about 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro. I wasn't sure I'd like the boiled eggs and only used one, cutting it up into smaller pieces. Rather than layers, all the filling ingredients including the wet mixture were combined before topping with the biscuit. In the future, I might also use 1 cup of the biscuit mix because there was more than plenty to soak up the filling. Also, 1 whole stick of butter to top the biscuit mix sounded like too much and half would suffice.
This was easy to make and you could actually cook and cut up the chicken ahead of time. Give it a quick toss on the stove with the carrots to heat it up when you're ready to cook. And look--I've perfected the stuffed squash blossoms!

Try this with a pre-made crescent roll topping instead of the biscuit mix. Bake the chicken/veggie mixture first and remove from the oven about 30 minutes later before covering with the crescent dough for a flaky crust. Yum!
