Chicken Pot Pie Casserole

My family loves comforting meals like casseroles. The weather dipped down a bit this last week so I pulled out a classic. Chicken Pot Pie casserole with biscuits literally is so simple to make. 

How to Make 

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13 glass or ceramic baking dish.
• In a large bowl, using only 1 cup of the shredded cheese, mix together all ingredients except for the biscuits and melted butter.

• Pour chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and stir. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheese on top of the mixture.

• Separate each biscuit in half, dividing the top and bottom so that they aren’t as thick. Place 12 biscuits on top of the chicken and cheese mixture (do not overlap biscuits).

• Bake for another 15-20 minutes or until biscuits are browned and cooked through.
• Brush tops of biscuits with melted butter and serve!

Could I Use Refrigerated Crescent Rolls Instead of Biscuits 

If you don’t want to use canned biscuits you could swap them out with a refrigerated container of crescent rolls if you want. You can lay them evenly over the mixture and then cut a few air holes with a knife so it doesn’t pop off. 

Can I Use Fresh Vegetables Instead of Frozen 

Frozen veggies are generally picked and frozen at their prime. It can also be a lot more affordable to buy a bag of frozen than to buy fresh for each vegetable. 

If you want to use fresh vegetables in replace of frozen you are more than welcome to. Just prep the veggies as you normally would before mixing them into the mixture. 

This is a great way to clean out your fridge and counter with produce that is close to expiring. Get creative and use whatever vegetables you want for this recipe. 

Tips:

• Any kind of cooked veggies will do. I used a medley of peas, carrots, corn, and green beans.
• Shape the biscuits to look as even as possible, as this ensures a more uniform look.
• To make it even easier, use a fully cooked rotisserie chicken.
• Instead of dividing the biscuits in half (top & bottom), you can cut each biscuit into quarters. If the biscuits are too big, the bottom won’t cook.

How should I store the casserole? Store covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. 

How can I cook the chicken? To cook the chicken, you can boil it, bake it, sauté it, grill it, or cook it in the slow cooker or instant pot. I covered my chicken in olive oil, salt, and pepper. I then baked it at 400°F for 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reached at least 165°F. 

What are substitutions that I can make? If you don’t have canned biscuits, make a batch from Bisquick. Instead of using onion powder or minced onion, sauté 1/3 cup chopped onion in 1 tablespoon of butter until tender.

What to Serve With Pot Pie 

This very easily can be a meal in one. If you want to add something else to go along with it go right ahead. Personally, I would do a salad to help lighten up the dish. Or you can pair it with more vegetables or other sides you and your family enjoy. 

You can freeze leftover pot pie as well. Place in a freezer container and freeze for 3-4 months. To warm up from frozen, place in oven covered and heat at 350 degrees until cooked through. Don’t remove the foil or it will overcook the biscuits on top. 

Or you can place the frozen dish in the fridge and let it thaw overnight. Then reheat in the microwave as well.
