We just love, love, love my Chicken Pot Pie this time of year (Really, is there anything more comforting than Chicken Pot Pie??? I think not.), so I decided to mix and match it and make a Tex-Mex version. Yummy!
This recipe serves four adults.
Shopping List
1 pound chopped, cooked chicken (click here to see my perfect chicken)
1 small onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped (optional)
1 (10 oz) can Rotel tomatoes (do not drain)
1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup frozen corn
1 can biscuits (I used Grands)
Salt and Pepper (S&P)
1 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Lightly spray an 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray, set aside.
In a large skillet, combine the cooked chicken, onion, bell pepper, jalapeno, Rotel, tomato paste, chili powder, stock and corn over medium-high heat. Add in a pinch of salt and pepper and bring to simmer for about five minutes.
After simmering, pour the chicken mixture into your prepared baking dish. Remove your biscuits from the can and lay them across the top of your chicken mixture in the baking dish. Sprinkle a little cheese down over the tops of each biscuit.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until biscuits are brown and chicken mixture is bubbly.
Remove from oven and serve.
So simple, right? Everyone gets a little scoop of Tex-Mex filling with a cheesy biscuit on top!
Happy Friday friends!!

Hi Shay, I am a regular follower of both of your blogs, so I am aware that you live in McKinney. My husband, kids and I are visiting on Tuesday and are wondering if you can suggest any restaurants? Maybe something local and yummy. We are not staying long but try and always visit when we get a chance since we have plans of relocating there in 8 years (another reason why I love reading your blog). Thank you for sharing your ideas… And your blogs 🙂

You need to head down to the square! There is Spoons, Square Burger, Cadillac Pizza and many other fun (and yummy!) places to eat. Enjoy McKinney!

Oh, I so love the idea of making a Tex-Mex version of pot pie! What a great idea. I'll have to try this soon! I just love pot pie recipes.

Such a fun and easy recipe. I made this tonight but ran into a slight problem. The chicken mixture was quite liquidy so it didn't allow the biscuits to cook properly. They were all gooey and uncooked underneath. Does this happen to you? Next time I think I will drain the liquid before adding to the dish to bake.
Mix and Match Mama says
Hi Kara! Perhaps it should have simmered longer? The biscuits will not cook underneath (because they're at the bottom). They will just brown up on the top and be soft on the bottom. Have a great day!

Thank you so much for writing back. I know how busy and jet-legged you must be, so I appreciate it so much. I absolutely love your blog. You've created something really special. 🙂

I had the same problem. My biscuits were very gooey ;(
