Classic Chicken Pot Pie Casserole brings all the comfort and flavors of a traditional chicken pot pie into an easy casserole form. Loaded with tender chicken, vegetables, and a creamy sauce, topped with a buttery biscuit crust.

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works great)
    1 1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots
    1/2 cup frozen corn (optional)
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    1/2 cup celery, diced
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    3 tablespoons butter
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    2 cups chicken broth
    1 cup heavy cream
    1 teaspoon dried thyme
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon pepper
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 package (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (or 1 1/2 cups biscuit mix)
    Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish or baking dish and set aside.

  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and garlic, cooking for about 4-5 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in the flour and cook for another minute, stirring constantly to form a roux. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking to prevent lumps, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  3. Once the sauce has thickened (about 5 minutes), add the heavy cream, thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir to combine, and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 more minutes.
  4. Add the cooked chicken, peas, carrots, and corn (if using) to the skillet and stir until well combined. Remove from heat.
  5. Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it into an even layer.
  6. Open the package of biscuit dough and cut the biscuits into quarters. Arrange the biscuit pieces on top of the casserole, covering the surface completely.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
  8. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
  9. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Feel free to swap out the peas and carrots with other vegetables like green beans, corn, or potatoes for a different twist.
  • For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream or substitute with a dairy-free cream alternative.
  • If you prefer a different topping, use mashed potatoes, puff pastry, or homemade biscuit dough.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese on top of the casserole before baking.
