Instructions:
For the Filling:
- Preheat Oven:

- Cook Vegetables:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery, and cook until the vegetables are slightly softened.

- Transfer to Baking Dish:
- Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into a greased baking dish.
For the Biscuit Topping:
- Prepare Biscuit Dough:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Buttermilk:
- Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Form Biscuits:
- Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough onto the filling, spreading them out evenly.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Serve:
- Allow the pot pie to cool for a few minutes before serving. Scoop out portions with both the biscuits and the filling.
