Magic Chicken Pie

There’s something truly heartwarming about a homemade pie — and while this may not be your classic pastry-covered pie, Magic Chicken Pie delivers all the cozy satisfaction in a unique and delicious way.

This is one of those dishes I love to make every now and again. My husband especially lights up when I serve it (but then again, he’s a bit of a pie man — so maybe he’s biased!). Still, I can promise you: this dish is hearty, creamy, cheesy, and everything you want in a comfort meal.

It’s layered, baked, and slightly magical. You don’t stir it before baking, yet somehow it comes out beautifully structured and perfectly flavored. That’s the magic.

✨ What Makes This Pie “Magic”?

Unlike traditional pies with a crust, this one makes its own layers as it bakes. You simply pour each component in order, pop it in the oven, and wait for the transformation. The Bisquick mix rises to the top to create a golden, biscuit-like topping, while the chicken, vegetables, and creamy sauce stay beautifully layered below.

🧾 Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 6 tablespoons butter, cubed

• 2 cups Bisquick baking mix

• 1 1/2 cups milk

• 1 1/2 cups chicken stock

• 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

• 2 cups mixed vegetables, fresh or frozen

• 1/2 white onion, chopped

• 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated

👩‍🍳 How to Make Magic Chicken Pie

Step-by-Step:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Place the butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Put the dish in the oven for a few minutes to melt the butter, then remove.

3. In a bowl, whisk together the milk and Bisquick mix. Set aside.

4. In another bowl, whisk together the chicken stock and cream of chicken soup. Set aside.

5. Layer the ingredients in the baking dish without stirring:

   • First, spread the shredded chicken over the melted butter.

   • Top with the mixed vegetables, then sprinkle over the chopped onion.

   • Scatter the cheddar cheese evenly on top.

   • Slowly pour the Bisquick mixture over the cheese layer.

   • Finally, pour the soup-stock mixture evenly over everything.

6. Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

7. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. This helps everything set nicely.

🍽️ Tips & Variations

• Make it spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced green chilies for a bit of heat.

• Swap the protein: Turkey or rotisserie chicken work just as well!

• Use different veggies: Try broccoli, peas, corn, or even mushrooms.

• Make it cheesy: Add a layer of mozzarella or pepper jack with the cheddar.
