Chicken Pot Pie is a classic American meal and considered delicious comfort food! All your food groups in one meal.
My family has not had chicken pot pie since my husband and daughter were diagnosed with gluten intolerance; almost 3 years ago. Gosh, I have missed it!

Chicken Pot Pie
Did you know that there are two different ways to make a homemade chicken pot pie? The first way is to make a pie crust and add all the yummy chicken and veggies into it.
The second way is to bake the casserole with biscuits placed on top. My favorite way, (because it’s the easiest!) is to make a batch of biscuits and then smother them with chicken and veggies!

I personally think this is the best method because the biscuits don’t get soggy on the bottom and I don’t have to worry about under or overcooking one part of the casserole. It also makes better leftovers. Since the biscuits are placed on the bottom and the chicken and veggies on top we call this casserole Upside Down Chicken Pot Pie! 😉
Gluten-Free Biscuits
The hardest part about making this casserole is finding gluten-free biscuits. Well… actually finding gluten-free biscuits isn’t hard, but finding gluten-free biscuits that don’t taste like cardboard or are as hard as a rock–now that can be a real challenge!
At our house, we love this King Arthur Gluten-Free All-Purpose Baking Mix and I use the gluten-free biscuit recipe on the back of the box to make Upside Down Chicken Pot Pit.
Unfortunately, I was all out of bacon (insert tiny violins playing sad music), but I did add one clove of garlic. This instantly turned the biscuits into Garlic Cheddar Biscuits!! OH. MY. These were GOOD!
Make the biscuits according to the directions on the box.
While the biscuits were baking in the oven I started on the rest of the ingredients.
Normally, chicken pot pie calls for a can of cream of chicken soup. However, since most canned soups contain gluten I simply make my own (which is actually healthier!).
I start with chicken stock, half and half, and corn starch, (you could also use potato starch, rice flour, or another type of thickener). I add parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper for seasoning.
When the mixture thickens, I add shredded chicken breast and mixed frozen vegetables. I also add chopped bell peppers and a small onion. The mixture is ready when all the vegetables are fully cooked.
Dinnertime!
Now it’s time to eat! To serve, simply cut a savory biscuit in half and smother it with the chicken and vegetables!
