Chicken and Biscuit Casserole Recipe

UPDATE: Try this recipe with mashed potoatoes on top in lieu of the biscuits called for (i.e. like a chicken shepherd's pie). I got this idea from Rachel Ray. All in all, I prefer this better as is (i.e. with a biscuit crust), but had to give it a try... This is an excellent recipe!!! My friend who has the "favorites" cookbook recommended it to me (it's in the original paperback). I do not like the "crust" part of pot pies, but I love the filling, so this recipe is perfect for me! The biscuits are just yummy! I made this casserole for my parents and they loved it too! I added some fresh mushrooms, pearl onions and a little cookig sherry (you could also use white wine...) to make it extra special :) I made more than 8 biscuits (8 didn't seem to be enough to cover the entire 9x13 pan) and didn't flatten them as the recipe directed (I just spooned heaping mounds of biscuit mix onto the filling). This dish pairs nicely with a tossed salad. I'll definitely make this again. It's a keeper! Thanks for sharing!!!

I made this 1 other time before and followed the recipe to a T. It was very good and the proportions are very balanced. This time I made sure to cut the celery and carrot pieces smaller than the onion so that they are all done at the same time. I also substituted some half-and-half for the chicken broth (1/4 of the portion) just to give it some richness and color. I added about 3/4 tbsp. of poultry seasoning and a dash of cayenne. I used frozen peas instead of canned and did not bake the biscuits with the casserole. I used frozen buttermilk biscuits and poured the mixture on top. I love the way that the biscuit melts when the sauce is poured on it. This time it came out DIVINE.

I made this as is and give it a solid 4/5 stars. It is a great base recipe, and a warm comforting meal. Since then, I have made the following changes to suit my family and now consider it a 5. I poached chicken tenders, and 2# yielded 4 cups. I used chicken stock for a heartier flavor, and used 1/2 cup of half n half in place of the milk. I omitted the basil and have substituted thyme and even a pinch of rosemary or poultry seasoning. I doubled the amount of onions and celery that the recipe originally called for and precooked the diced carrots in some of the stock. The cooked perfectly in about 7 minutes. I also use canned buttermilk biscuits and quartered each one to spread on top rather than use the Bisquick mix.

This was a huge hit last night with our best friends who already now have this recipe, they loved it so much. *Used Costco chicken, all white meat *Added extra veggies which I cut small and they were perfect *Used Pillsbury "Grands" biscuits and they were wonderful *Better Than Bouillon chicken base is a cheap way to make your own chicken broth and it's way better, too. This was so good!

I used Pillsbury Grands biscuits because I have not had luck with homemade biscuits in the past. I added corn in my casserole and used more veggies than called for. For the chicken I used two boneless skinless Kirkland brand breast (I do not think that was four cups?). I don't like meat overloading my casseroles, but it could have used one more cut up chicken breast. And of course I used salt and pepper to season my chicken before cooking, because who likes plain chicken? Also cooked my chicken on the pan to 165 Fahrenheit (could have done 160 Fahrenheit, because it cooks in the oven a couple of degrees more in the oven and you don't want it overcooked and tough) then placed it in a bowl into the fridge while I cooked the veggies. For the bake time instead of 30 min --> Cover with aluminum foil for 10 min I did 25 min --> Set 9x13 on stove top and Nestle Pillsbury Grands biscuits into the mixture, cover with aluminum foil for 15 min. I found that my casserole was more runny than I prefer (I prefer thicker consistency), although it did thicken up a little for leftovers the next day, but not as much as I would have likes. Next time I will try placing the oven at 375 Fahrenheit instead of 350. Overall good! Also I used a 9x13 I wanted to use my 8x11.5 but could not find it! The slightly smaller pan size could help with the runny consistency. I will be making again! Also, I will use this in a pie crust for a pot pie in the future!

A very good base for this dish that you can add or tinker with. I made as directed but switched around a few veggies with what I had on hand. I added 2 medium potatoes chopped into small pieces. and per others suggestion I added in poultry seasoning for more flavor. I made drop biscuits from scratch and put on top. Really great dinner!

OMG-so delicious! This will become my go-to for Thanksgiving leftover turkey as well as year round meals. I used Red Lobster honey butter biscuit box mix ($3.50) instead of the $8 box of Bisquik. I adjusted the cooking time to 23 minutes keeping a close eye on biscuits. A keeper!

This was quite good! I added potatoes & garlic to mine and instead of making the biscuits, used the canned variety. I sauted the veggies in a cast iron pan, & simmered them with the chicken in the sauce then put the biscuits on top & baked it in the oven. Easy!! Thanks for a great idea.

This is a great recipe. I do have a big family (with teenagers), so I did about 1 cup of each veggie. I still did one can of peas and that was perfect. I also added two cups of chicken broth to make up for the extra veggies. I thought the seasoning was perfect, though I did substitute thyme for basil since one of us can't have it. I will definitely be making this one again. Thanks for the recipe!

I made this with some modifications based on what we had on-hand and what some other reviews said. I had no carrots so used more of the other veggies, I used fresh green beans, bouillon instead of stock, and all thigh meat. I don't like parsley, so I substituted celery leaves. I also added garlic and lots of herbs. We all enjoyed it, including my kids. And what little leftovers we had the next day were even more delicious.

I have made this several times and basically keep to the original recipe ingredients. However, I suggest to use Better Than Bullion(Roast Chicken Flavor) for the broth, much more flavor. I use about 1 cup of carrots, 3/4 cup celery, 3/4 onion,1/2 cup of peas and 1/2 cup of corn. On occasion I have also added some precooked diced potato. I replace biscuits with Pie Crust or serve the casserole over Mashed potatoes.

Comfort food at its best! Only changes I made were omitting peas(husband doesn’t like), and used frozen Grands biscuits that I let thaw for about 20 minutes and then cut into quarters and placed over chicken mixture. Absolutely delicious! A great shortcut when you don’t have time to make homemade pie crust for a chicken pot pie.

I used canned biscuits and it came out great!

Made it for a small gathering — huge success.

I used frozen mixed vegetables (thawed) and Pillsbury biscuits for convenience and time. Came out great!! Just had to fine tune the thickness a bit. Made it for church youth group. Not a bit left!! They all loved it!!

Such a simple recipe, but the results were amazing! Full of flavor, easy to prepare, and everyone loved it. I’ll definitely be making this for family dinners and casual get-togethers.

We loved it! I used rotisserie chicken and I bought a can of biscuits. I cover it with foil for the first 25 min and then uncovered the casserole (mostly knowing my oven).

Wanted to make a chicken pot pie (comfort food) on a cold rainy day, but only had biscuit mix so chose this recipe. We all enjoyed it - I will definitely make it again. I added a cubed potato and some extra poultry seasoning. But I do agree with a previous reviewer that the basil seemed discordant in this recipe - next time (and there will be a next time) I am going to try sage or thyme in the biscuits instead.

So good! I added some poultry seasoning and upped the veggies a bit. I added about 1/2 cup of half & half to have extra sauce and topped this with puff pastry. Lovely! Thanks for a great recipe.

I made this as written. It was terrible! The basil was overpowering and clashed with the celery. Nobody would eat it so it all got thrown away. What a waste of time and ingredients.
