Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 3 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn (optional)
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
  • 2/3 cup milk

Topping

  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury Grands)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, for about 1-2 minutes until it forms a smooth roux and begins to turn golden.
  2. Add Liquids and Vegetables: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, ensuring no lumps remain. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the frozen peas and carrots mix and corn, cooking until heated through.
  3. Add Chicken: Stir in the cooked chicken meat, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the creamy vegetable sauce. Remove the skillet from heat.
  4. Assemble the Casserole: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the chicken filling into a greased 9×13-inch casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Add Biscuit Topping: Open the refrigerated biscuit dough can and separate biscuits. Place the biscuits evenly on top of the chicken filling, slightly apart to allow for expansion as they bake.
  6. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your comforting chicken pot pie casserole!

Notes

  • You can use leftover cooked chicken or store-bought rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Frozen mixed vegetables can be substituted with fresh vegetables if preferred.
  • For a richer flavor, swap milk for half-and-half or cream.
  • If you want a crispier biscuit topping, brush them with melted butter before baking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat leftovers covered in the oven at 350°F until warmed through to maintain biscuit texture.
