Ingredients You’ll Need

2 tbsp butter, unsalted: Adds richness to the sauce while sautéing the vegetables.
1 (12 oz) bag frozen mixed vegetables: Look for a mix that includes corn, carrots, peas, and green beans for a pop of color and nutrients. Fresh vegetables can be used instead, but may require extra cooking time to soften.
2 (10 oz) cans cream of chicken: This creamy base delivers that classic chicken pot pie flavor. You could substitute with a homemade white sauce if preferred.
2 cups chicken stock: Use low-sodium stock to control the dish’s saltiness. This helps balance the creaminess of the soup.
1 store-bought rotisserie chicken: Shred or chop the meat to save time and infuse incredible flavor into the casserole. Any leftover cooked chicken works too!
½ cup Italian parsley, chopped: Adds a fresh herbal note. Feel free to substitute with thyme or rosemary for a different flavor profile.
Salt and black pepper, to taste: Essential for enhancing flavors. Adjust according to your preference.
1 can Pillsbury Grand biscuits: The perfect topping for this casserole! If you prefer homemade, any biscuit dough can work.

How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Casserole With Biscuits

Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees F. This will ensure even cooking for your casserole.
Sauté the vegetables: In a large sauté pan, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are heated through and becoming tender.
Prepare the filling: Stir in the two 10 oz cans of cream of chicken along with 2 cups of chicken stock. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer and season it with salt and black pepper to taste.
Combine and transfer: Remove the pan from the heat and fold in the shredded rotisserie chicken and chopped Italian parsley. If the filling seems too thick, add a splash more chicken stock for your desired consistency. Pour this flavorful filling into a greased 9×13 baking dish and set aside.
Pre-bake the biscuits: On a parchment-lined sheet pan, “pre-bake” the Pillsbury Grand biscuits for half the time indicated on the package. This ensures they’ll cook through without becoming soggy. Once done, carefully place the biscuits upside down on top of the filling in the baking dish.
Bake until bubbly: Transfer the casserole to your preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. You know it’s ready when the filling is bubbly around the edges, and the biscuits are a beautiful golden brown.

Storing & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you prefer to freeze it, transfer the casserole to a freezer-safe dish, and it will keep well for up to 3 months. For reheating, pop the casserole in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, or until thoroughly heated. Be aware that the texture of the biscuits may soften slightly, but a quick toast under the broiler can refresh them.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid soggy biscuits: Pre-baking the biscuits is crucial; this step keeps them from getting mushy in the casserole.
Chicken prep: Ensure your chicken is warm when adding it to the filling; this will help the entire dish heat evenly.
Season well: Taste your filling before baking! You can adjust the salt and pepper to suit your taste.
Vegetable variety: Feel free to swap in seasonal or favorite veggies. Fresh carrots or diced potatoes work wonderfully.
Make-ahead option: You can prepare the filling a day in advance and assemble the casserole right before baking.

With the delightful combination of creamy filling, tender chicken, and flaky biscuits, this chicken pot pie casserole is not just a meal; it’s a warm hug on a plate. The best part is you can easily adapt it to suit your family’s preferences. Don’t hesitate to switch up the veggies or add your favorite herbs. Cooking is all about experimenting, after all!
