Chicken and Biscuit Casserole

Chicken and biscuit casserole is one of our favorite dinners around here. It only takes about ten minutes to get ready and into the oven and will feed a large family. The easy chicken casserole recipe is a hearty meal that everyone will love. And, it’s a great way to get picky eaters to the table.

An Easy Weeknight Dinner

 

Chicken and biscuit casserole is a great meal to make for the family, especially when you have kids that eat a lot.

I’ve got two teenage boys, and they loved this dish, and we had plenty for everyone.

It’s perfect for busy nights when you need something quick and tasty on the table.

The easy dish is similar to chicken pot pie. I love that I can change the type of veggies or soup mixture to give it a bit of a different flavor. 

I used store-bought flaky buttermilk biscuit dough for the recipe, which shaved off some preparation time, but you can make homemade buttermilk biscuits if you’d like to instead.

This is also a great dish to get those veggies in there easily, especially when you have little ones who don’t like veggies.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Begin by adding the cream of cheddar cheese soup to a large bowl. 

Next, add the cream of chicken soup to the bowl. 

The soups will help make a creamy sauce for the recipe.

You can also change things up on occasion by adding mushroom soup or celery soup instead of cheese and chicken.

Now, add the heavy cream and the chicken broth to the bowl. 

Add the veggies, salt, and pepper, and stir everything together well. 

I used frozen mixed vegetables for this recipe. You can use any type of veggies that you like for this recipe. 

We love green beans, peas, corn, cooked carrots, frozen broccoli, or just about anything.

You can even add a small amount of diced onion to the recipe.

Add the shredded cooked chicken to the bowl and mix. 

A friend asked how to get the chicken shredded like the picture above.

I cooked the chicken ahead of time and shredded it with my KitchenAid mixer. You can also shred it with a hand mixer, and it works like a charm. 

You can also use leftover chicken for this recipe or buy a rotisserie chicken at the store and shred it.

Pour everything into a 13-inch by 9-inch greased casserole dish. Cover with tinfoil and bake for 25 minutes. 

After 25 minutes, take the dish out of the oven, and remove the tinfoil.

Cut up the biscuits into four pieces each and top the casserole in a single layer.

Return to the oven (without tinfoil) and bake for another 13-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. 

The biscuit topping makes this taste so good. I used store bought flaky biscuits for the recipe and they taste so buttery and delicious.

You can even add some cheesy biscuits for added variety.

One 8-count can of biscuits was the perfect amount for the recipe. But, you can also get extra biscuits if you’d like to add a few more.

You can also make your own homemade biscuits and place them on top of the chicken mixture.

Once the meal cooks, you end up with a sort of chicken gravy with biscuits, and it’s out-of-this-world delicious. It’s perfect for those cold nights when you want something comforting to warm you up.

If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
