First of all, let’s talk about the filling. I know many of you are familiar with my Turkey Pot Pie recipe, but trust me, it works just as well with chicken too. The combination of veggies, savory spices, and tender meat is pure comfort in a dish. And since it’s already a one-pot meal, all you have to do is transfer it to your favorite casserole dish.

Offering a homemade meal like this Chicken Pot Pie Casserole isn’t just a kind gesture—it’s a practical way to help lighten another mom’s load.

How to make Chicken Pot Pie Casserole

Heat the Butter
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat until it begins to sizzle.

Cook the Vegetables
Add the frozen vegetables, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the onions are translucent.

Incorporate the Flour and Seasonings
Gradually sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture while stirring constantly to avoid clumping. Add the salt, pepper, rosemary, and parsley, ensuring the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Add the Liquids
Quickly pour in the chicken broth, stirring continuously to blend with the flour-coated vegetables. Then, add the heavy whipping cream, ensuring the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

Simmer the Sauce
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should thicken slightly but remain pourable, as it will thicken further during baking.

Incorporate the Shredded Chicken
Gently fold in the shredded chicken until evenly combined. Remove the skillet from heat and set the mixture aside while preparing the casserole dish.

Prepare the Casserole
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the filling to a 9×13-inch casserole dish, spreading it evenly.

Now, here’s where we really take things up a notch – topping the casserole with pre-made biscuits. Game-changer, am I right? Not only does it add a delicious layer of flaky goodness, but it also saves you time. No need to fuss over a homemade crust or worry about cutting it into the perfect shape. Just pop those biscuits on top and let the oven do the rest.

Top with Biscuits
Take your pre-made biscuits and slice them in half horizontally. Arrange the biscuit halves on top of the filling, leaving a small amount of space between each piece to allow for expansion during baking.

Bake the Casserole
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Cool Before Serving
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the filling to set slightly and ensures easier serving.
