Instructions

Step 1: Pineapple Salsa

In a large bowl, combine the diced pineapples, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeño, vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 2: Al Pastor Marinade

Marinate the chicken thighs in a mixture of vegetable oil and Tenayo’s Spicy Al Pastor BBQ Sauce for at least 30 minutes (up to 24 hours).

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • For the Filling: Chicken thighs or breast, potatoes, onions, oil from sun-dried tomatoes, and a few staple seasonings.
  • For the Marry Me Gravy: Chicken broth, white wine, fresh spinach, heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, butter, flour, and aromatic herbs like garlic, thyme, and oregano.
  • For the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping: Red Lobster biscuit mix, cheddar cheese, milk, and a garlic herb butter sauce to brush on at the end.

How to Make Marry Me Chicken Pot Pie (VIDEO)

1. Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables
Start by seasoning the chicken with garlic powder, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and oil from the sun-dried tomatoes. Sear the chicken in a hot pan until it’s golden brown on both sides, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. In the same pan, sauté onions and potatoes until tender and caramelized.

2. Make the Marry Me Gravy
Deglaze the pan with white wine, letting it reduce slightly. Melt butter, then sprinkle in flour to create a roux with the sautéed vegetables. Slowly stir in the chicken broth, followed by the heavy cream, garlic, thyme, and oregano, creating a creamy, flavorful gravy. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, chicken, and finally, fresh spinach to complete the filling.

3. Make the Biscuit Topping
Mix together the biscuit mix, cheddar cheese, and milk until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.

4. Assemble and Bake
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Divide the filling into individual ramekins or transfer it to a large baking dish. Top with dollops of the cheddar bay biscuit dough. Bake until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, then brush them with garlic herb butter as soon as they come out of the oven.

5. Serve and Savor
Serve immediately while the pot pie is bubbling and the biscuits are still warm. Each bite combines savory chicken, creamy gravy, and a perfectly cheesy biscuit topping.

Tips for Success

  • Use Fresh Spinach: It wilts perfectly in the creamy gravy, adding a pop of color and nutrients.
  • Don’t Skip the Wine: The dry white wine adds a subtle depth to the gravy, balancing out the richness of the cream.
  • Shaggy Dough is Key: When mixing the biscuit dough, stop once it just comes together to ensure tender, fluffy biscuits.

Storing and Reheating

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven to maintain the crispness of the biscuit topping, or microwave for a quick and cozy meal. This pot pie also freezes well—just be sure to cover it tightly before freezing, and bake straight from the freezer when you’re ready to enjoy.


This Marry Me Chicken Pot Pie is the perfect dish to cozy up with on a cool evening. Its indulgent, rich flavors, paired with that irresistible Cheddar Bay Biscuit topping, make it a dinner that’ll have everyone coming back for more!

  • Mix to until all the chicken thighs are well coated and set aside.

  • As soon as they come out of the oven, brush on the herb garlic butter and serve. Enjoy!

  • Versatile & Customizable: Use your favorite biscuit recipe or even store-bought ones in a pinch. You can also adjust the spices in the marinade and batter to suit your taste!

How to Make Chicken Biscuits

  1. Marinate the Chicken: The secret to juicy, flavorful chicken starts with the marinade. A mix of buttermilk, pickle juice, and a few simple spices infuses the chicken with flavor and keeps it incredibly tender.
  2. Whip Up the Honey Butter: This honey butter is a game-changer! Whipped until light and fluffy, it’s the perfect balance of sweet and savory with a touch of garlic and onion.
  3. Prepare the Crispy Batter: The combination of flour, cornstarch, and spices gives the chicken its signature crispiness. Each piece is dredged in the mixture, ensuring a crunchy bite in every mouthful.
  4. Fry the Chicken: Once the chicken is marinated and coated, fry until golden brown and perfectly crispy. The key is to fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
  5. Assemble the Biscuits (recipe): Start with a toasted biscuit, add a piece of crispy chicken, and slather it with that luscious honey butter. Crown it with the top half of the biscuit, and you’re ready to savor every bite.

Storage and Leftovers

If you have leftovers (though that’s unlikely!), store the chicken and biscuits separately in airtight containers. The chicken will stay crispy if reheated in an oven or air fryer. The whipped honey butter can be stored in the fridge and spread on anything from toast to cornbread for a little extra indulgence!
