Creamy, delicious and super easy this Chicken Pot Pie Casserole is topped with cheddar biscuits and is the perfect simple weeknight dinner.
Chicken Pot Pie is one of those recipes that we grew up with. Now I’ve never really been the hugest pot pie lover, my mom used to make me the banquet brand when I was a kid, and I think I just grew out of liking them.
But when it comes to switching it up and turning it into a casserole, it’s a game changer. This Chicken Pot Pie Casserole is a SUPER simple dinner recipe to whip up and it feeds the whole family.
We also have a delicious fall version on our website that is a Harvest Chicken Pot Pie that you might like, it’s addicting and uses drop biscuits!
Baked in a 9″x13″ baking dish, you get more than the average pot pie recipe, and you can make it even easier by switching up some of the ingredients!
WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:
- With minimal pantry ingredients, this comes together in about 10 minutes and bakes up bubbly and golden in about 30.
- Using frozen vegetables and canned soup really make this an easy shortcut recipe that cuts time in half than if you were to make everything from scratch.
- The canned biscuits topped with some freshly shredded cheese adds texture and flavor that helps you soak up the creamy filling.
When it comes to family favorite meals, this one has to be one of the top ones. While my kids and husband do fancy a pot pie now and again, they prefer the casserole more.
HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN POT PIE CASSEROLE, STEP BY STEP:
- In large pan add your soups, milk, frozen vegetables, chicken and seasoning.
- Heat on stove until it comes to a boil and simmer for a few minutes to defrost your vegetables.
- Pour into an uncreased 9″x13″ baking dish and spread out until smooth.
- Open your can of biscuits and place on top of your pot pie filling.
- Brush each biscuit with a little bit of milk.
- Top biscuits with some freshly shredded cheddar cheese and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes until biscuits are golden and cooked through and filling is bubbly.
This is just one of those easy to whip together recipes. We like to use Butter flavored flaky biscuits and add the cheese to the top for a little extra flavor, but you can use whatever you like and opt to not use the cheese completely.
CAN THIS BE FROZEN?
So unlike a traditional pot pie, this one has a biscuit topping, but yes you can freeze it. To freeze before baking just make according to directions, through boiling the filling and adding it to the pan.
Let cool completely then cover and freeze for up to 2 months.
When you are ready to serve, you can bake from frozen, but add an additional 15-20 minutes onto the baking time, to add the biscuits I would bake for about 20 minutes until it becomes liquidy, then remove from oven and add the biscuits then so they do not get overdone.
I do not recommend freezing the biscuits with the pot pie mixture itself.
CAN I USE HOMEMADE BISCUITS?
Absolutely, you can prepare your favorite homemade biscuit recipe and add them to the top! We like to use prepared refrigerator biscuits for the ease of the recipe, but if you have a favorite biscuit recipe then you are able to use that for sure.
TIPS AND TRICKS FOR MAKING CHICKEN POT PIE CASSEROLE:
- We like to use 2 cans of cream of chicken soup, you can do a can of cream of chicken and a can of cream of mushroom if you like.
- For a more full covering of the topping, you can rip the biscuits up or use smaller biscuits like these to top.
- You can use fresh vegetables if you like, we use frozen for the ease of use.
- Freshly shredded cheese melts better, so we opt to shred directly from a block of cheese.
- If you want a thicker filling, reduce the amount of milk, if you want a thinner filling increase the amount of milk.
- You can forgo boiling the mixture and adding it into the pan directly but bake for about 15 minutes them remove and add the biscuits.

I never leave comments on recipe sites like this, but I made this for dinner last night and it was unbelievably good. I used reduced sodium cream of chicken soup to help balance out the salt, canned peas and canned carrot slices (drained before putting them in to the mixture), and pressure cooked the chicken in an instapot so I could shred it up. The end result far exceeded what I was expecting from this recipe. If you’re reading this and thinking about doing this for dinner tonight, DO IT.

Did the biscuits end up soggy ?

Comfort food! I cut the milk back to a cup, used 1 can cream of chicken and one can cream of celery and put it in a 5×9 + a small casserole dish to take for lunch. Sooo good!!

Has anyone tried canned cooked chicken
Rachel
I love this recipe so much and use rotisserie chicken! Have been enjoying this for a year now – so comforting and not too much prep. I have a two year old who also loves it!

Rotisserie chicken will work nicely and add a yummy flavor, but it will absorb a lot of the liquid so make more than the recipe calls for.
