Why is my Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits a bit dry and how do I fix it?
You may have added more chicken, vegetables or flour to the recipe. Also, you may have overbaked the Chicken Pot Pie or baked at a temperature over 350 degrees. You can easily make more sauce and serve it on the side. It’s easy to make. Simply put 2 cups of chicken broth into a pan over medium high heat, season with salt and pepper, add a teaspoon of cornstarch and 2 to 4 tablespoons of flour. Bring to a boil while whisking. Once it boils, reduce heat and keep at a low boil. Boil the liquid down until it reaches your desired thickness. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.
If you add more sauce, don’t forget to adjust your SmartPoints if you are following Weight Watchers.
I hope you enjoy this easy and quick Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits Recipe + Weight Watchers friendly recipe and it becomes a family favorite.
