Ingredients List
Substitutions
Chicken The recipe calls for chicken breast tenders, because they cook up fast and are lean cuts of meat. But you could use any part of the chicken you prefer.
Vegetables I used the traditional veggie combo of corn, peas, carrots, and potatoes, but you could use just about any vegetable you like. I’ve made this recipe with broccoli, sweet potatoes, parsnips, rutabagas and a few others I forget.
This is a great recipe to use up whatever you have leftover in the refrigerator or pantry. Fresh or frozen work, but the cooking time may need to be adjusted.
Arrowroot flour This is used to thicken the broth and is my preferred thickener. Other options include cornstarch, wheat flour, and agar agar.
Canned biscuits I used canned biscuits for convenience, but you could whip up a batch of homemade biscuit dough, too. Other options are crescent rolls, pizza dough, and pie crust.
Time Saving Tip!
You can have this Ninja chicken pot pie recipe on the dinner table in about 20 minutes by simply substituting leftover, canned, or even rotisserie chicken.
