Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits

I love making shortcuts and simplified steps whenever I can which is why I love the biscuits on top instead of pie crust. This biscuit pot pie doesn’t require a lot of chopping, ee simply cut canned biscuits in half with kitchen scissors then tossed them with seasoning in a zip-top bag. The chicken pie filling does require a few more steps as it is mixed together on the stovetop but the steps are fairly simple and easy and don’t take too long at all to do.
