Chicken Pot Pie Casserole Ingredients
We love this recipe because it has a simple recipe list, full of pantry staples. It’s easy to keep these ingredients on hand and save them for a day when you’re craving chicken pot pie.
You will need:
- 1 can Grands biscuits, 8 biscuits
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cups frozen vegetable variety (corn, peas, carrots, green beans)
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (or any cooked chicken)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
PRO TIP: This 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.
INGREDIENT Substitutions:
This recipe is topped with buttery, flaky Grands biscuits. It’s a tasty twist on classic chicken pot pie, which is made in a pie crust. For some other fun alternatives, consider topping your casserole with the following instead of biscuits:
CRESCENT ROLLS: Roll out 1 (8 oz) can of crescent rolls 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” strips. Create a lattice with the strips to cover your casserole dish. Top your casserole with the pastry, making sure to press the edges into the dish. Bake 40 – 45 minutes, until puff pastry is golden brown. Cover with foil if the edges start to burn.
How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Casserole:
STEP ONE: 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 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the frozen vegetables to the skillet and cook for 10 – 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
PRO TIP: 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” pan with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the skillet mixture into the prepared 9 x 13” dish and spread evenly. Place the pre-baked biscuits on top of the casserole dish with the baked side down and the raw side up. Arrange them in 2 rows of 4 biscuits each.
STEP FIVE: Next, place the 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 SIX: Place the casserole in the oven and bake at 375 degrees for 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.
Because the biscuits are pre-baked and the chicken is pre-cooked this is a quick recipe to make. It doesn’t need long in the oven and takes 40 minutes total from start to finish.
What to Serve with this dish:
Chicken pot pie casserole 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.
Chicken pot pie casserole is a classic comfort food dinner that’s made even better in this recipe by topping it with biscuits and a drizzled butter sauce.
