Ingredients You’ll Need

This recipe strikes the balance between everyday convenience and homemade flavor.

• Butter + olive oil – for sautéing and flavor.

• Onion, carrots, celery, garlic – the classic pot pie veggie base.

• Frozen peas and corn – time-saving staples (this is a chicken pot pie casserole with frozen vegetables, but fresh works too).

• Cooked chicken – shredded rotisserie chicken keeps it easy (rotisserie chicken pot pie casserole is a lifesaver on busy nights).

• Flour, chicken broth, milk – for thickening the creamy sauce.

• Seasonings – The Spice Girl Kitchen French or Italian Seasoning (or equal parts thyme, parsley), salt, pepper, paprika (optional)

• Cream of chicken soup (or mushroom) – shortcut creamy base (see homemade sauce option below).

• Biscuits – refrigerated Pillsbury Grands for convenience, or try homemade for a biscuit chicken pot pie bake with extra flair.

How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Casserole with Biscuits

1. Prepare the Filling

Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a skillet or Dutch oven, melt butter with olive oil. Sauté onion, carrots, and celery until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and seasonings. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and cook 1 minute.

Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk until smooth and thickened. Stir in cream of chicken soup (or use the homemade sauce option below).

2. Add Chicken and Vegetables

Mix in shredded chicken, peas, corn, and parsley. Simmer 2 minutes, then transfer to a greased 9×13 baking dish.

3. Biscuit Topping Options

Here’s where you can go shortcut or homemade:

• Canned biscuits: Cut Grands into halves or quarters and arrange evenly over filling.

• Homemade biscuits: Drop spoonfuls of dough (recipe below).

• Other swaps: Puff pastry, crescent rolls, or pie crust work.

Pro tip: Pre-bake biscuits for 8 minutes on a baking sheet before topping the casserole — this keeps bottoms from turning soggy.

4. Bake

Bake uncovered 25–30 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown and filling is bubbling. If biscuits brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil. Let casserole rest 10 minutes before serving so the filling can set.

How To Make Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup

Want to skip the can? Try this simple homemade chicken pot pie casserole version:

• Melt 4 Tbsp butter, sauté 1 diced onion.

• Stir in 1/3 cup flour.

• Slowly whisk in 3 cups chicken broth + 1 cup milk.

• Simmer until thickened, season with salt, pepper, and thyme.

This gives you the same creamy base with fresher flavor.

Tips for Success

• Prevent soggy biscuits: Pre-bake or space them apart for airflow.

• Flavor boosters: Stir in shredded cheddar, parmesan, or fresh rosemary.

• Meat swaps: Leftover turkey or even cooked ground beef work well.

• Veggie swaps: Try mushrooms, spinach, or green beans for variety.

Variations and Add-Ins

• Cheesy chicken pot pie casserole: Add 1 cup shredded cheddar to the filling.

• Loaded veggie version: Bulk up with broccoli, mushrooms, or spinach.

• Turkey pot pie casserole: Perfect for Thanksgiving leftovers.

• Beef pot pie casserole: Use browned ground beef for a twist.

What to Serve with Chicken Pot Pie Casserole

This dish is hearty on its own, but here are some simple pairings:

• Crisp green salad with vinaigrette.

• Roasted or steamed veggies (broccoli, Brussels sprouts).

• Fresh fruit salad to lighten things up.

Storage, Freezing, and Reheating

• Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3–4 days.

• Freezing: Best to freeze the filling separately (up to 3 months). Add biscuits fresh when baking for the best texture.

• Reheating: Reheat in oven at 350°F until warmed through (to keep biscuits crisp). Microwave works for speed, but biscuits will soften.

Frequently Asked Questions

Method

 

Make the Filling

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish.
2. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook 5–6 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and seasonings.

Make the Biscuit Topping (or skip and use canned biscuits)

1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter (or fingers) until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk just until dough comes together. Do not overmix.
2. Drop biscuit dough by large spoonfuls evenly over filling (about 8–10 biscuits).

Bake
