Intro:

Magic Chicken Pie is the ultimate comfort food — a rich and creamy chicken filling tucked beneath a fluffy, biscuit-like topping that magically forms a golden crust while baking. There’s no need to roll out dough or pre-cook a crust — just layer and bake! Perfect for cozy dinners or family gatherings.

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped; rotisserie works great!)

1½ cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or homemade substitute)

½ cup chicken broth

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

Salt & pepper to taste

For the Topping (“Magic Crust”):

1 cup all-purpose flour

1½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

1 cup milk

4 tbsp (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prepare Pan:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or similar-sized oven-safe dish.

2. Make the Filling:

In a bowl, combine chicken, mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, broth, and seasonings.

Pour this mixture into the bottom of your prepared dish and spread evenly.

3. Mix the Topping:

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, milk, and melted butter until smooth.

Pour this batter evenly over the chicken mixture — do not stir! It will bake into a crust.

4. Bake:

Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and cooked through.

Let sit 5–10 minutes before serving to thicken slightly.

Tips:

Add herbs like thyme or rosemary to the filling for extra flavor.

Make it cheesy by adding ½ cup shredded cheddar to the batter or filling.

For extra crispiness, brush the top with a bit of butter or olive oil halfway through baking.

Easily turn this into a turkey pie after holidays!
