Chicken Pot Pie Filling.
With a few simple ingredients, you can make the most delicious chicken pot pie. In a mixing bowl, add shredded leftover chicken, chicken gravy, frozen carrots and peas, a little bit of seasoning (if your chicken is plain) and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix all the ingredients together and set aside.
Instead of the traditional pie dough, this recipe requires Pillsbury jumbo biscuit dough. The canned biscuit dough is perfect for individual servings and makes the recipe much easier to make.
Take each Pillsbury dough piece and roll it out. Next place a spoon full of the filling in each flat round and close it shut, making sure to pinch the ends together. Take a look at my Grilled Chicken Quesadilla for another tasty chicken recipe.
Finally, in a cast iron skillet, lay the filled dough balls with the seam facing down. Make sure there is room between the dough balls as they will grow throughout the grilling process and finish them off with melted butter.

Must have grillin seasonings!
Grilling The Chicken Pot Pie Biscuits.
Warm up the grill to 350 degrees and set for indirect heat. Place the skillet with the dough balls on the grill and let if cook for 20-30 minutes or until the outside is golden brown. No need to worry about meat cooking through since all ingredients were already pre-cooked.
Remove the skillet from the grill and allow them to cool for 10 minutes. They will be very hot inside! Trust me, let them cool down a bit. Once you bite into the biscuit, you’ll get the gooey goodness from the gravy and cheese and the savory taste of the chicken and veggies. Enjoy!
