Creamy chicken and biscuits casserole is comfort food at its finest. It is an easy to make all in one dinner that your whole family is going to love.
This yummy meal is made from simple ingredients and comes together in almost no time at all. The creamy chicken filling bakes under golden brown biscuits for the best of both worlds.
Plus the vegetables cook in that creamy gravy, making them palatable for even the pickiest eaters. This recipe really does hit on so many levels.
MiMi’s creamy chicken pot pie is legendary around these parts. It is a favorite meal not only of my family but of our friends as well.
This recipe hits on a lot of those same notes, but you don’t have to fiddle with pie crust. The larger baking dish also reduces the amount of time it takes in the oven, so this is a little bit quicker all the way around.
Carlee’s Tips and Tricks
This recipe starts with a pound of cooked chicken. You can use leftover chicken so long as it isn’t coated in BBQ sauce or another competing flavor.
You can also quickly cook chicken breasts in the instant pot. I like to do a bunch at once and plan meals around using the meat for the next few days.
You can cook the chicken breasts from frozen in just a few minutes in the Instant Pot. You can also pick up a rotisserie chicken from the store and use some of that.

Otherwise just cook some chicken. You can poach some whole chicken breasts or cut them into bite sized chunks and quickly cook them in a skillet.
The first thing you will want to do is partially bake your biscuits. This step isn’t absolutely necessary, it helps keep the biscuits from being too soggy later so it is worth the little bit of effort.
We like to use one can of cream of mushroom and one can of cream of chicken, but you can use two of one flavor if you prefer.
You can use frozen peas and carrots or mixed vegetables or your preferred mix of veggies.
You can adjust the seasonings to your preferences. Or you may want to reduce the seasonings a bit if your chicken is already seasoned.
Putting the top of the biscuit down on the filling will keep them from getting to gooey. That’s it, the casserole is ready for the oven.
About halfway through the bake time you will want to cover the baking dish with foil to keep the biscuits from getting too brown. At the end you can put it back in the oven without foil for a few minutes to get them as golden as you like.
Can you add cheese to the filling?
Sure! If you want a cheesy filling, feel free to add a cup of shredded cheese to the chicken mixture. Cheddar would be good, or try pepper jack for a little bit of spice.

My mom did as well, but her version had a little white rice in with it!!!!
I would how I could add rice to it without making it dried out
I would use cooked rice and add just a splash more liquid to the gravy. That sounds yummy!
