This chicken and biscuit casserole has delicious flavors, simple ingredients, and is a great meal for a busy night because you can make it the night before and cook it the next day.

 

 

Chicken and biscuit casserole is one of my favorite meals to serve on the dinner table.

It’s loaded with vegetables, nutrients, great flavors, and the whole family eats it.

And the best part is, it should really be named easy chicken and biscuits casserole because it is a recipe card that belongs on your easy casseroles list.

But with this classic recipe, you can get a perfectly creamy dish without using the heavy cream or cream of chicken soup that was in grandma’s creamy chicken biscuit bake.

The secret is taking your time to add the chicken broth to the veggies as you let it simmer to get thick. That makes it a creamy chicken biscuits and gravy casserole without actually adding cream.

The broth will take on the ingredient flavors of the vegetables and the butter you cooked them in and spread it through the whole dish, making this one of those delicious recipes you love to eat again and again.

 

 

What ingredients are in chicken and biscuit casserole?

• Butter: you will cook all the vegetables in butter which is a classic step in all comfort food recipes
• Garlic Cloves: you want these minced so either use store bought fresh minced garlic in the produce section or peel and mince your own
• Onion: these take on the flavor of the butter and spread it to the other ingredients which makes onions a great way to get more flavor through your dish
• Baby Carrots: cut these into coins so they are bite sized like in chicken pot pie
• Celery: chopped into small pieces this will disappear into the creamy sauce so you don’t get a strong celery flavor, just a nice balanced dish.
• All-Purpose Flour: this thickens the sauce making it a creamy gravy instead of a runny chicken soup
• White Sugar: this adds a quiet sweetness to each bite
• Salt: this makes everything else taste better; you will miss it if you leave it out
• Dried Basil: I love seasoning my chicken with basil because it adds a hint of sweetness to the dish
• Ground Black Pepper: this classic spice helps your body absorb the nutrients in all the other ingredients as you eat
• Chicken Broth: chicken stock is the ingredient in the casserole dish that gives you a perfectly flavored sauce
• Cooked Chicken: you want smaller pieces of chicken so everything is bite sized
• Frozen Peas: this adds a great flavor and texture to the filling of the hot chicken mixture
• Pillsbury Biscuits: any flavor you like works great; just be sure to get an 8 count package so you don’t have extra biscuits you didn’t use

Pro Tip: You can make your own chicken, but I like using a store-bought rotisserie chicken to make this dish even easier. Just save the shredded or chopped chicken so you can use it in this dish.

Can you freeze chicken and biscuit casserole?

Yes you can freeze chicken and biscuit casserole! This is one of the easiest dishes to freeze because you can do it so many different ways.

You can just make the filling and let it cool and freeze just the filling. When you are ready to cook, let the filling thaw in the fridge overnight, pour into the prepared casserole dish, add the raw biscuits, and cook as directed.

Freezing the cooked biscuits never gives quite the same results. So I recommend the above for best freezing instructions.

 

 

How to store leftover chicken and biscuit casserole:

Store leftover creamed chicken and biscuit casserole in the fridge in an airtight container for up to one week. Or you can freeze it and save it for another day.
