Whether you celebrate Thanksgiving and enjoy turkey or not, you can easily make this recipe using left over cooked chicken and it will be just as delicious. Often when we have roasted chicken for dinner my family prefers the dark meat. The breast is left for me and I always have left overs of it. Freezing the meat is the best way I’ve found to not let if go to waste in the fridge forgetting it’s in there.

The biscuit recipe is new to me provided by a reader named Emily. I made just a few slight adaptions and it is an amazing gluten free biscuit that everyone loved, even the picky ones! I used my basic Healthier Whole Wheat Turkey Pot Pie recipe and adapted from there. I’ve also made the biscuit recipe using whole wheat pastry flour instead of the gluten free and found them to be dense and heavy so I wouldn’t suggest it. The biscuit recipe is perfect as is folks.

Once you make the biscuit dough you can shape them easily into 8 rounded pieces or just do what I did here for a more rustic free form kind of pot pie. I just plopped the dough all over as  you see here and let my family choose the amount of biscuit piece they wanted. My little 7 year old was happy to have a small amount and the hubby was happy to have a giant piece!

Top with some fresh parsley and enjoy your easy fabulous meal with left overs!
