Pour in chicken broth,wine, and cream of chicken soup. Allow it to simmer, then add turmeric, thyme, and rosemary.
Add half and half, increase heat, allow it to bubble slightly, then decrease heat, stir in frozen peas, remove from heat.

PRO TIP: Mix the Bisquick at the very last minute prior to baking. This will ensure that the top layer is light, fluffy, and is a perfect biscuit-like consistency.
Pour the bisquick on top of the pot pie filling.
Bake at 350° for 40 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
Using a Rotisserie Chicken:
Using leftover rotisserie chicken is a perfect shortcut for this meal. (Be sure to make some homemade chicken stock with the carcass!)

Notes
- I like to purchase a rotisserie chicken for this meal because I use the chicken for the filling and make an easy chicken broth with the carcass that I also use for the filling. This gives it ultimate homemade flavor!
Note 2:
- For the Crock Pot and Instant Pot methods, you can also transfer the prepared filling to a casserole dish and pour the Bisquick batter on top and bake it from there for the full casserole version.
It was very time consuming preparing, but well worth the time making. I did use a rotisserie chicken and made the chicken broth as suggested. I put the broth in the freezer to make chicken noodle soup at a later date. Next time I will add an additional 1/2 cup of bisquick and 1/4 cup of milk to the topping recipe. I did not have enough topping to completely cover the filling. This is a delicious recipe and I’ll be making it again, but next time I may cut up the vegetables ahead of time and par boil the potatoes to save some time.
Happy to hear you enjoyed this one Theresa, thanks for taking the time to leave your comments, much appreciated!💖
3 easy recipes for chicken pot pie, one of my favorites. Can hardly wait to make!
I’m excited for you to make it as well Lettie! 🙂
Hi Stephanie-I have not made this yet-I was wondering if I could substitute turkey for chicken?? I made a turkey breast have a lot left😊
Hi Donna!! Turkey would be a wonderful sub for the chicken, yes! 🙂 Good thinking!
Delicious recipe!! I had to double the Bisquick part of it to cover 9 x 13, but it tastes amazing!! Your recipes are so fun to cook!!
I’m so happy you’re enjoying the recipes and having fun with them Gwen! Thanks so much for the great comments and review!💖
Can. I use can veggies
If you don’t have frozen
Hi Camille! Canned veggies can be used instead of frozen, just noted that canned foods also contain sodium, so your dish will have a little more salt in it if using canned.
This recipe screams comfort food. Only thing I did different is made biscuits instead of doing bisquick on top and spooned chicken mixture over cooked biscuits. This recipe is a keeper.
I totally agree, this is the definition of comfort food! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment!❤️
There are so many variations of Chicken Pot Pie and I must say …. This is a favorite!!! Love the addition of tumeric and the Bisquick was a nice change as well. Tks for sharing a delicious meal!!
I’m so happy this is a favorite Jeanne! Thanks so much for the great review!😃
How many WW point is this per serving?
Hi Faith, this isn’t a WW recipe, someone created pins on Pinterest and advertised it that way, (I have no idea who or why someone would do that) 🙁
I was a bit Leary of the seasoning and decided to use them by half but they still overpowered the dish I will make again without the seasoning
Do you think using Jiffy Corn Bread mix would taste good?! I already have that in my cupboard!
Hi Kelsey, I haven’t tried it but I bet that would work well!
