If you’ve been looking for an über comforting dish that is soon to become one of your very favorites, look no further. We were inspired by the classic chicken pot pie, but knew that we didn’t want to mess around with a top and bottom crust, no matter how yummy. Which led us to this chicken pot pie bubble up. Have you ever had a bubble up before?? We remember how our minds were blown when we tried our first one, so now we’re passing along its greatness to you.
A bubble up is a type of casserole that has cubed biscuit dough incorporated throughout. There’s typically a rich and creamy sauce, some form of protein and veggies, and then those delicious pockets of dough that perfectly punctuate each bite. Since this is a pot pie bubble up, we’ve got all the staples: chicken and peas and carrots. But let’s talk about the sauce for a minute, okay? While a traditional pot pie has a homemade, roux-based sauce, we decided to take a little, delicious shortcut to get a thick, flavorful sauce that would save us time and give us tons of bang for our buck.
Basically, this “sauce” is a combination of sour cream and McCormick® Simply Better Chicken Gravy. This ready-to-serve gravy saves you tons of prep work time, so you can get this addictively delicious bubble up in the oven and on the table. Pairing it with the sour cream makes for a balanced, flavorful sauce that coats everything and complements all the other ingredients. It really kicks this dish up a notch, ensuring you’ll make it again and again. Plus, the Simply Better gravy is made with McCormick spices, and has no artificial flavors or added MSG.
