This chicken pot pie casserole is made of a creamy gravy loaded with vegetables and chicken and topped with buttery, flaky biscuits. It’s an easy dinner recipe with all the flavors of a chicken pot pie that even the pickiest eaters will love.

Chicken Pot Pie Casserole Ingredients

You’ll need:

  • 1 can Grands biscuits, 8 biscuits
  • 4 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 4 cups frozen vegetable variety (corn, peas, carrots, green beans)
  • 4 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 (10.5-ounce) cans of cream of chicken soup
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

PRO TIP:

Pick up a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store to make this recipe quick and easy to throw together.

SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS

BISCUITS: This great recipe is topped with buttery, flaky Grands biscuits. It’s a tasty twist on traditional chicken pot pie, which is made in a pie crust. For some other fun alternatives, consider topping your casserole with either crescent rolls or puff pastry instead of biscuits.

CRESCENT ROLLS: Roll out 1 (8-ounce) can of crescent roll dough and top your baking dish with the flattened rolls. Press together the seams as well as the edges to create a seal. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.

PUFF PASTRY: Roll out the puff pastry and slice it into 2-inch strips. Create a lattice top with the strips to cover your casserole dish. Top your casserole with the pastry, making sure to press the edges into the dish. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the puff pastry is golden brown. Cover with foil if the edges start to burn.

CHEESE: Add a sprinkle of cheddar cheese on top of the filling before topping it with the biscuits for a cheesy twist.

CHICKEN: This delicious casserole recipe is easiest when you make it with rotisserie chicken, but you can also make it with any kind of cooked chicken. Chicken breasts are a popular alternative — simply cook and shred 2 pounds of chicken breasts before starting to make this casserole.

When it comes to scalloped potatoes, there are a few different types of potatoes that you can use. However, not all potatoes are created equal when it comes to this dish.

In order to get the best results, you want to use a starchy potato. This type of potato will hold its shape better and also absorb the flavors of the dish better.

Some good examples of starchy potatoes include russet potatoes and Yukon gold potatoes.

They’re among the most common types of potatoes, so they should be easy to find at your local grocery store.

How to Make this Chicken Pot Pie Casserole Recipe

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 375°F Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and keep the oven on. This will ‘pre-bake’ the biscuits so that they cook fully with your casserole.

STEP TWO: While the biscuits are baking, in a large skillet heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the frozen vegetables to the skillet and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

Most frozen vegetable mixes will work for this recipe. Traditionally, corn, peas, carrots, and green beans are used in chicken pot pie; but you can use your favorite mix of veggies. Or use your own fresh veggies (like mushrooms or celery) to add variety.

STEP THREE: Add the chicken, milk, and cream of chicken soup to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine and heat for 5 minutes, until the mixture is fully heated and bubbly hot.

STEP FOUR: Spray a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.

STEP FIVE: Place the pre-baked biscuits on top of the filling with the baked side down and the raw side up. Arrange them in 2 rows of 4 biscuits each.

STEP SIX: Next, place the 2 tablespoons of melted butter and garlic powder in a small microwaveable bowl. Microwave, covered, in 30-second increments until the butter is fully melted. Pour the melted butter over the top of the biscuits.

PRO TIP:

If garlic isn’t your favorite flavor, try adding rosemary, thyme, or Italian seasoning to your butter topping instead. Or, leave this step out and bake your biscuits plain.

STEP SEVEN: Place the casserole in the oven and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes then tent with aluminum foil and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown. You’ll know it’s done when the biscuits will turn a beautiful golden brown on top. Serve immediately.

How To Serve

This easy chicken pot pie recipe can be a stand-alone dish, but it also goes great with lighter sides like salads. You can’t go wrong with a simple homemade Caesar salad or macaroni pasta salad.

Storage

IN THE FRIDGE: You can store the leftover chicken casserole in the fridge for up to three days in an airtight container. Bear in mind that the biscuits will soften so they won’t be as crispy as when fresh out of the oven.

IN THE FREEZER: If you plan to make this chicken pot pie casserole in advance, then it’s best to freeze it before you bake it. Cover with aluminum foil and store in the freezer for up to three months. You can then bake it straight from the freezer.

Chicken pot pie casserole is the ultimate comfort food dinner that’s made even better in this recipe by topping the creamy filling with biscuits and a drizzled butter sauce.

What is the sauce made of in chicken pot pie?

What is the sauce made of in chicken pot pie? Heavy whipping cream, chicken broth or stock, butter, and all-purpose flour. Simmered together creates a luxurious, rich sauce that suspends the filling ingredients. This combination prevents a runny consistency that would make a soggy bottom crust as it sits.

Why does my chicken pot pie come out watery?

If your chicken potpie seems runny after it's baked, chances are that it wasn't baked long enough. The ingredients need enough bake time to set up and create a thick filling. If your crust is getting too golden or dark before the end of your bake time, place a sheet of foil over the top to keep it from burning.

How do I thicken my chicken pie filling?

Thickening the Filling – You can also use a cornstarch slurry to thicken this filling. Simply mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water and whisk. Add this in-place of the flour, or in addition if you want to cut the cooking time down.

How do you keep pot pie from getting soggy?

Blind Bake The most common way to ward off a soggy pie crust is by a process called blind baking. Blind baking means you pre-bake the crust (sometimes covered with parchment or foil and weighed down with pie weights to prevent the crust from bubbling up) so that it sets and crisps up before you add any wet filling.
