Pot pie comfort without the pastry fuss. Opa's Smoked Chicken and mixed vegetables simmer into a quick, creamy filling, then an herb-flecked batter goes on top and rises into a golden crust as it bakes. One dish, about an hour, and the kind of dinner that pulls everyone to the table.
Opa's smoked chicken pot pie with a golden herb crust, Fredericksburg, Texas

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Opa's Smoked Chicken, cut up
  • 1 bag (1 lb) frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
  • 2 cans (10 3/4 oz each) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10 1/2 oz) condensed chicken broth
  • 2 cups Bisquick mix
  • 1-1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried sage leaves
  • Chopped fresh parsley, if desired

Directions

  1. Make the filling. Heat the oven to 350°F. In a 4-quart saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the Opa's Smoked Chicken, vegetables, soup, and broth to boiling, stirring occasionally. Boil and stir 1 minute. Spread in an ungreased 13x9-inch glass baking dish.
  2. Top with the crust. In a medium bowl, stir together the Bisquick, milk, thyme, and sage, then pour evenly over the filling (the crust will rise as it bakes).
  3. Bake. Bake uncovered 30-40 minutes, until golden brown. Sprinkle with parsley and let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Is Opa's smoked chicken already cooked?

    Yes. It's fully cooked, so the filling only needs to come to a boil.

  2. Why is the crust a batter?

    It's a pour-over topping that rises and browns on its own. Pour it evenly and don't spread it.

  3. Can I make it ahead?

    Make the filling ahead and refrigerate it. Bring it back to a boil, then add the topping and bake.
