How to Make Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits
Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish. Gather your cooked chicken, vegetables, and all other ingredients so everything's ready to go.
Step 2: Create the Creamy Base
In a large bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup, milk, and chicken broth until smooth. This creates that rich, creamy base that makes every bite absolutely perfect.
Step 3: Combine Filling Ingredients
Add your shredded chicken and frozen vegetables to the creamy mixture. Season with salt and pepper, then stir until everything's well coated. The mixture should be thick but pourable.
Step 4: Assemble the Casserole
Pour the chicken mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Top with the refrigerated biscuits, placing them evenly across the surface.
Can I use homemade biscuits instead of store-bought? Absolutely! Homemade biscuits work beautifully, just make sure they're not too thick or they might not cook through properly.
Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Top Tip
The secret to the perfect chicken pot pie bubble up casserole is letting it rest after baking.
I learned this the hard way when I served it straight from the oven and the filling was too liquidy.
Those five minutes of resting time allow the creamy base to thicken up beautifully.
My mom always told me "patience makes perfect pot pie," and she was absolutely right.
Trust me, your family will thank you for waiting those extra few minutes.
Storage & Reheating Instructions
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or warm the whole dish in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes until heated through.

FAQs About Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits
How do I prevent soggy biscuits?
Make sure your filling isn't too watery and don't overbake. The steam from the filling actually helps cook the biscuit bottoms perfectly.
What's the best chicken to use?
Rotisserie chicken works perfectly and saves tons of time. You can also use leftover roasted chicken or poached chicken breasts.
Can I freeze this recipe?
Absolutely! Freeze the unbaked casserole for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight and bake as directed, adding extra time if needed.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble everything except the biscuits, cover, and refrigerate. Add biscuits right before baking and increase cooking time by 5-10 minutes.
