This Bisquick chicken pot pie delivers a flaky golden crust and creamy filling with minimal effort. The shortcut crust comes together in minutes, while the savory chicken and vegetable mixture bakes to perfection.
I developed this method for busy weeknights when comfort food is a must. The Bisquick base ensures a tender, buttery crust without the fuss of traditional pastry, while the filling stays rich and satisfying.
Inside, you’ll find tender chicken, hearty vegetables, and a velvety sauce that bubbles through the crust. It’s a quick way to bring homemade warmth to your table without spending hours in the kitchen.
Serve it straight from the oven for the best texture. Here’s how to make it.
Ingredients for Bisquick Com Chicken Pot Pie
Pantry staples plus Bisquick make this comfort classic a breeze to throw together.
| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bisquick Baking Mix 🌾 | 2 cups | Original or buttermilk variety |
| Cooked Chicken Breast 🍗 | 2 cups | Shredded or diced |
| Frozen Mixed Vegetables 🥕 | 2 cups | Peas, carrots, corn, green beans |
| Cream of Chicken Soup 🍲 | 1 can | 10.5 oz size |
| Whole Milk 🥛 | ¾ cup | Cold for best texture |
| Unsalted Butter 🧈 | ½ cup | Melted and cooled slightly |
| Chicken Broth 🍗 | ½ cup | Low-sodium preferred |
| Onion 🧅 | 1 whole | Small, finely diced |
| Garlic Cloves 🧄 | 2 cloves | Minced for filling |
| Dried Thyme 🌿 | ½ tsp | Or 1 tsp fresh |
| Salt 🧂 | ½ tsp | Adjust to taste |
| Black Pepper 🌶️ | ¼ tsp | Freshly ground preferred |
| Large Egg 🥚 | 1 whole | For crust binding |
The Bisquick is non-negotiable here—original or buttermilk varieties both work, but avoid the heart-smart version (it behaves differently). I always grab mine from Target or Walmart in the baking aisle. For the chicken, rotisserie chicken is a game-changer (saves cooking time), but poached chicken breasts work just as well. Make sure the veggies are thawed first—no one wants icy bites in their filling.
No cream of chicken soup? Cream of mushroom is the closest swap. Out of Bisquick? Self-rising flour plus 1 tsp baking powder per cup gets you there. The milk can be any kind (whole gives the richest crust). Fresh thyme? Use half the amount of dried. The frozen veggie mix is flexible—just avoid anything with added sauces (like stir-fry blends).
Assemble and bake right away, or prep the filling ahead and refrigerate for 1 day. Leftovers reheat beautifully—cover with foil and warm at 350°F for 15-20 minutes. The crust stays flaky for 2 days in the fridge.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Pot Pie
Here’s how I make this dish with a flaky crust and rich filling every time.
Step 1: Prepare the Filling Base
In a large skillet, melt the 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it turns translucent and softens. Stir in the minced 2 cloves Garlic Cloves and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Next, add the 1 can Cream of Chicken Soup, 0.5 cup Chicken Broth, 2 cups Cooked Chicken Breast, 2 cups Frozen Mixed Vegetables, 0.5 tsp Dried Thyme, 0.5 tsp Salt, and 0.25 tsp Black Pepper. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and the vegetables begin to soften.
Step 2: Adjust the Filling Texture
Pour in the 0.75 cup Whole Milk and stir to combine. The filling should be creamy but not runny. If it seems too thick, add a splash of broth. If it’s too thin, let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. The filling should have a rich, savory flavor with a hint of herbs from the thyme. Remove the skillet from heat and set the filling aside while you prepare the crust.
Step 3: Prepare the Bisquick Crust
In a bowl, combine the 2 cups Bisquick Baking Mix with the 1 whole Large Egg. Mix until the dough starts to come together. It should be slightly sticky but manageable. If it’s too dry, add a teaspoon of milk; if too wet, add a bit more Bisquick.
Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll one portion between two sheets of parchment paper to fit the size of your baking dish. Press it into the bottom and up the sides of the dish to form the bottom crust.
Step 4: Assemble and Bake
Pour the warm filling into the crust-lined dish. Roll out the second portion of dough to cover the top. Press the edges to seal, then cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly.
Pro Tips For Making Bisquick Com Chicken Pot Pie
- Preheat the Baking Mix: Mix your Bisquick with cold milk first and let it sit for 5 minutes while the oven preheats—this gives the baking powder time to activate for a fluffier crust.
- Shred the Chicken Fine: After cooking, pull the chicken breast into small, even pieces so every bite has a good ratio of filling to crust.
- Thaw the Vegetables: Drain and pat dry your frozen mixed veggies after thawing to keep the pie from getting watery and soggy.
- Use Warm Soup: Heat the cream of chicken soup slightly before mixing—it blends smoother and helps the filling set faster in the oven.
Perfect Pairings for bisquick com chicken pot pie
Side Dish Pairings
A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette balances the richness of this pot pie. I toss 4 cups mixed greens with 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar. The acidity cuts through the creamy filling beautifully. 🥗
Bread Options
Serve with warm dinner rolls or crusty French bread to soak up any extra filling. I love using Pillsbury crescent rolls for a quick, buttery side that complements the flaky crust. Brush with melted butter for extra shine.
Vegetable Sides
Steamed broccoli or roasted Brussels sprouts add a fresh, crisp contrast. Toss 2 cups Brussels sprouts with 1 tbsp olive oil and roast at 400°F for 20 minutes until caramelized. The nutty flavor pairs perfectly.
Beverage Pairings
A crisp Chardonnay or light Pinot Grigio complements the creamy chicken and herbs. For non-alcoholic options, a sparkling lemonade or iced tea refreshes the palate between bites. 🍷

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cream soup?
Yes! Cream of mushroom works well as a substitute. For a lighter option, try cream of celery. Just stick to condensed soups for the right consistency.
How do I prevent a soggy bottom crust?
Pre-bake the bottom crust for 8-10 minutes before adding filling. Also, ensure your filling isn’t too watery by simmering it until thickened.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Assemble the pie and refrigerate for up to 1 day before baking. Or bake, cool, and refrigerate for 2 days—reheat at 350°F for 15-20 minutes.
What if my crust browns too quickly?
Tent the pie with foil after 15 minutes of baking. This protects the crust while the filling finishes cooking through.
