Lunchbox Ideas For My 11 Children | Chicken Pot Pie Casserole
I’m still working on my voice, but I wanted to share an easy lunch box idea with you. Even as homeschoolers, we love packing lunchboxes when we know we will be out and about.
I pack my husband’s lunch, and when I know we are going to have a busy day, I pack some boxes while making breakfast and prepping dinner. It’s a big time saver!
Making mealtime enjoyable and involving your children in preparing and planning the food can foster a positive relationship with nutritious foods. We are here to lay the foundation for our children’s long-term health and well-being. You got this, mama!
Here is everything we added to the lunch boxes –
🥧 Leftover Chicken Pot Pie Casserole
🍇 Red Grapes
🫐 Blueberries
🧀 Cubes Cheese @kerrygoldusa
🎃 Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
🥜 Mixed Nuts & Seeds
🧡 Pop Mmm Cheddar Crackers @simplemills
🥥 Coconut Chocolate Bar @unreal.snacks
🐻 Fruit Minis @bearnibbles_us
Homemade Chicken Pot Pie
INGREDIENTS-
Filling:
2 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken (breast or thighs), Cooked and Diced (we use the meat from 1 whole chicken) @costco
4 Tbsp Butter
2 Onions, chopped
4 Garlic Cloves, Minced
4 Carrots, Diced
4 Celery Stalks, Diced
2 Cups Frozen Peas
2 Cups Frozen Corn (optional)
1 Cup Mushrooms, Sliced (optional)
4 Cups Chicken Broth
1 Cup Milk or Heavy Cream @kalonasupernatural_milk_dairy
1 Cup All-purpose Flour
1 tsp Dried Thyme
1 tsp Dried Rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Homemade Biscuit Topping:
2 1/2 Cups All-purpose Flour
1 tbsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Salt
1/2 Cup Cold Butter, Cubed
1 1/4 Cups Milk
METHOD –
1. Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, celery, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
2. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir for 2-3 minutes to cook the flour. Whisk in the chicken broth gradually, then add the milk or cream, stirring until the sauce thickens (about 5 minutes).
4. Add the cooked chicken, peas, corn, and mushrooms to the sauce—season with thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir well, then remove from heat.
5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a large 9×13-inch baking dish (or two if necessary). Pour the filling into the baking dish, spreading it evenly if using two.
6. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add small cold butter cubes into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
7. Pour in the milk and gently mix until a soft dough forms. Keep the dough undermixed. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the filling.
8. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any spills. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
9. Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes, then scoop and serve warm. Enjoy!
