Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter: This adds richness and flavor. You can substitute with olive oil if preferred.
  • 1 12oz bag frozen mixed vegetables: A blend of corn, carrots, peas, and green beans saves time. If you prefer fresh vegetables, feel free to use those as well.
  • 2 10oz cans cream of chicken: This creamy base gives the casserole its delightful texture. If you like, you can use homemade cream of chicken soup for a fresher taste.
  • 2 cups chicken stock: Adds depth of flavor. Vegetable stock can work too if you’re looking for a lighter option.
  • 1 store-bought rotisserie chicken (meat removed and shredded): This is a huge time-saver! Alternatively, you can poach your chicken and shred it.
  • ½ cup chopped Italian parsley: Fresh parsley brightens the dish and adds a burst of flavor. You might also try thyme or sage for a different taste.
  • Salt and black pepper to taste: Essential for seasoning. Adjust according to your preferences.
  • 1 can Pillsbury Grand biscuits: These biscuits create that signature topping. For a healthier twist, you could use whole wheat or gluten-free biscuits.

How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Casserole With Biscuits

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F for that perfect baking environment.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large sauté pan, melt 2 tbsp of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the 12oz bag of frozen mixed vegetables and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
  3. Create the Sauce: Next, add the 2 cans of cream of chicken and 2 cups of chicken stock to the pan. Stir thoroughly and bring to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Remove the pan from heat and fold in the shredded rotisserie chicken and chopped parsley until well mixed. If the mixture seems too thick, add a splash more chicken stock.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Pour the filling into a greased 9×13 baking dish, smoothing it into an even layer.
  6. Pre-Bake the Biscuits: On a parchment-lined baking sheet, “pre-bake” the biscuits according to package instructions, only for half the time suggested.
  7. Top and Bake: Once the biscuits are slightly golden and puffed, place them upside down on top of the casserole filling. Bake for another 10-12 minutes until the filling is bubbly and the biscuits are golden brown.

Storing & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. If you’re looking to save it for later, you can freeze the casserole for up to 3 months. Just be sure to cool it completely before wrapping tightly. To reheat, place the casserole back in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes, or until heated throughout. Note that the texture of the biscuits may soften upon reheating, but a quick toast can refresh their crispiness!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

  • Always sauté your frozen vegetables first to ensure they heat evenly throughout the casserole.
  • Make sure to season at each step; it really boosts the dish’s overall flavor.
  • If your filling seems overly thick, remember that a splash more of chicken stock can help achieve the perfect consistency.
  • You can easily make this a vegetarian dish by swapping the chicken for chickpeas and using vegetable stock.
  • Leftovers make for a fantastic lunch the next day, so don’t hesitate to save a portion!

There you have it! This Chicken Pot Pie Casserole With Biscuits is a fantastic way to bring comfort and joy to your dinner table. With its creamy filling, hearty chicken, and flaky biscuit topping, it’s bound to impress family and friends alike.
