A creamy, cheesy green chile and chicken filling is topped off with a delicious biscuit-like topping in this Tex-Mex style comfort food the whole family will love!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
If you’re a fan of chicken pot pie, you’re going to love this unique twist on the comfort food classic. I like to think of this Green Chile Chicken Pot Pie as pot pie with a Southwest flair.
The filling is made with tender chunks of chicken, green enchilada sauce and green chilies, and plenty of pepper jack cheese–and that’s just for starters
If the filling doesn’t convince you to try this recipe, then let me tell you about the flaky, crumbly, cobbler like topping! It’s pre-baked for about 10 minutes, then crumbled over the filling for a unique and absolutely amazing pot pie topping that everyone loves.
In fact, this topping is so good, I’m considering making it the go-to topping for every pot pie I make from now until forever. It’s definitely the star of this recipe.
And that’s really saying something, because the creamy chicken filling is pretty amazing too!
Unlike other pot pie recipes, the filling in this dish isn’t loaded with lots of vegetables, but you could easily add things like corn, or diced jalapenos or red bell pepper for a more complete meal.
I also like to use the always convenient supermarket rotisserie chicken in this recipe to speed up the prep work, but you can definitely cook and shred your own chicken.
This would also be a great way to use leftover shredded Mexican chicken from tacos or burritos. There are definitely lot’s of ways to adapt this recipe, but believe me when I say it’s pretty much perfect just the way it is.
If you’re looking for a new twist on some classic comfort food, you need to try this Green Chile Chicken Pot Pie as soon as possible!
