Why You’ll Love This Easy Chicken Pot Pie Casserole

This casserole is all about cozy flavors and kitchen ease. You get that golden, biscuit-topped crust that flakes perfectly over a creamy, savory filling. It’s easy to customize based on what you have on hand, and it comes together quickly with pantry staples and a few shortcuts like rotisserie chicken and canned soup. Whether you’re feeding kids or serving a casual dinner for guests, it checks every box: fast, filling, comforting, and crowd-pleasing.

Ingredients

Cooked chicken: A great way to use leftover chicken or shredded rotisserie chicken. It forms the base of the casserole.

Frozen mixed vegetables: These bring color, texture, and nutrition. No chopping required.

Cream of chicken soup: The magic behind the creamy filling. It binds everything together and gives that signature pot pie flavor.

Milk: It lightens the soup and makes the filling silky smooth.

Garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper: Simple seasonings that lift the flavor and add warmth.

Canned biscuits: This shortcut gives a perfect flaky topping with zero effort.

Butter (optional): Brushed over the biscuits for an extra golden, flavorful finish.

How to Make Easy Chicken Pot Pie Casserole

Step 1: Prep Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). You want it hot and ready so the biscuits bake up golden.

Step 2: Make the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, frozen vegetables, cream of chicken soup, milk, and seasonings. Stir until everything is well combined and creamy.

Step 3: Layer It Up

Pour the chicken filling into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly.

Step 4: Top with Biscuits

Open the can of biscuits and place them on top of the filling. You can space them slightly apart or let them touch—just make sure they cover the top nicely.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. If you like, brush them with melted butter right when they come out for a glossy, rich finish.

Step 6: Cool Slightly and Serve

Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps the filling set a bit and makes scooping easier.

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

You can play around with this recipe endlessly. If you don’t have cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom or even cream of celery works just as well. For a lighter version, use low-fat milk and reduced-fat soup. Want extra protein? Add some cooked bacon or diced ham into the filling. If you’re in the mood for more depth of flavor, sauté some chopped onions or garlic in a little butter before mixing them into the filling. And while biscuits are a shortcut, a puff pastry top or homemade pie crust can take this to the next level if you’re feeling ambitious.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

This casserole is a meal on its own, but I like to serve it with something fresh and green like a simple arugula salad or steamed green beans. If you’re feeling extra indulgent, serve it with a side of buttery mashed potatoes or garlic bread. For drinks, a chilled glass of white wine or even apple cider complements the richness beautifully.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual servings in the microwave until warmed through, or bake in the oven at 350°F until heated. If the biscuits start to brown too much during reheating, cover the top with foil. This dish also freezes well—just wrap tightly and thaw overnight in the fridge before baking.
