If you love chicken pot pies as much as we do, try my old fashion chicken and biscuit casserole. It’s a cozy, comforting dish made with tender chicken and vegetables simmered in a creamy sauce, then topped with fluffy, golden biscuits. Hearty and satisfying, it’s a classic family-favorite meal that’s perfect for easy weeknight dinners or cold-weather comfort food.

Is there anything better than a comforting dish that reminds you of your Grandmother? Those were simpler days, and they made meals using fresh ingredients. No store bought food for Grandma. This recipe is close to what Grandma would make. That’s why it’s a favorite in my house. It’s rich and creamy with a ton of tender chicken. The flavor is amazing! I’m sure once you try this dish it will become a favorite of your family’s too.

Why You’ll Love This Chicken & Biscuit Casserole

Absolutely delicious: It has the heartiness of chicken pot pie, the creaminess of biscuits and gravy, and the cheesy goodness of a classic casserole.
Easy prep: It comes together quickly with minimal effort using fresh vegetables, pre-cooked chicken and simple drop biscuits.
Kid friendly: Chicken and biscuits is a classic, widely appealing meal that will satisfy both kids and adults.
Makes great leftover: This chicken and biscuit casserole reheats well and tastes just as delicious the next day. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Versatile: While I love this dish as is, feel free to add more of your favorite vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms and spinach. Make it vegetarian by not using chicken and adding in more veggies. Use cooked turkey instead of chicken.

Ingredients

Chicken: 4 cups of cooked shredded chicken or use a store bought rotisserie chicken to reduce prep time. This is a great recipe to use up leftover chicken.
Chicken broth: This infuses the dish with deep, hearty flavors. Try making your own broth. It’s more flavorful and healthier for you. Roasted chicken and beef bone stock
Heavy cream: Adds a luxurious creaminess, making the sauce rich and velvety. However you can use half-and-half cream or whole milk instead if you prefer.
Butter: Use to saute vegetables and flavor biscuits.
Vegetables: Onions, carrots, celery, frozen peas, and corn. Onions, carrots and celery are a signature trio found in many soups, stews and casseroles. Frozen peas and corn provide little bursts of sweetness, color and freshness.
All purpose flour: This thickening agent transforms the sauce into a creamy delight.
Seasonings: Thyme, garlic powder, salt and black pepper bring balance, savory and aromatic flavors.
Shredded cheddar cheese: This is optional however I love the gooey texture and added flavor.
Drop biscuits: This simple blend of Bisquick, milk, fresh parsley, cheese and melted butter bring another layer of flavor. They are quick and easy to make but can be substituted with your favorite canned biscuits. If so, I would recommend buttermilk flaky biscuits.

Tip

While the list of ingredients might seem overwhelming, the dish goes together easily. Prepare all ingredients before beginning to cook. Chop vegetables, combine broth and cream, and shred chicken. Wait to make biscuits until filling is finished. The biscuits can be made in just a couple of minutes, then drop them onto the top of the filling and bake until biscuits are done and filling is bubbly.
If filling seems a little thick, either reduce the flour or add a bit more broth/heavy cream.
