  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 cup milk of choice (unsweetened)
  • 1 large egg (whisked)
  • 3 tablespoons butter (melted)

Filling

  • 1/4 cup butter (for sautéing)
  • 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
  • 1/4 cup gluten-free measure-for-measure flour for the filling
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt for the filling
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cups diced peeled russet potatoes (about 1-2 potatoes diced into smaller than 1” cubes)
  • 2 carrots (chopped)

  • 3 cups shredded chicken (the meat of 1 rotisserie chicken)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1 3/4 cups of gluten-free flour, 4 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Mix well.
  • Slowly pour in 1 cup of milk and whisk until smooth.
  • Add 3 tablespoons of melted butter and the whisked egg, and mix until well combined.
  • Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Scoop the dough and form into biscuit rounds, about one inch thick.
  • Bake the biscuits for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Cooking the Filling

  • In a large pot, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat.
  • Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent.
  • Sprinkle in the mixture of 1/4 cup gluten-free flour, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 3/4 teaspoon ground pepper, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard, and 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme. Stir for about 2 minutes.
  • Gradually pour in 3 cups of chicken stock and 1/2 cup of heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil.
  • Once thickened, add diced potatoes, chopped carrots, mixed frozen vegetables, and shredded chicken. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes.

Assembly and Baking

  • Pour the filling into a baking dish and place the baked biscuit rounds on top.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, until the biscuits are browned and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let cool slightly before serving.
