Dinner time sometimes can be a struggle. Finding something the kids will eat and something healthy is impossible. There are times when just compromising for something that’s comforting is good enough for me.

This tasted good and I was looking in my pantry for things that I could make with stuff I already had. We had bought a Costco chicken and I had all that extra meat I was trying to use up. This seemed like the perfect recipe. I made homemade drop biscuits since I didn’t have any store bought ones.

If you want to use store bought you can but these were super good so I recommend making these!

Chicken and Biscuit Bake

Ingredients

2 cans of cream of chicken soup
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 cups frozen peas and carrots
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups chopped rotisserie chicken (pre-cooked)
1/2 cup yellow onion

Biscuits

2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/3 cup butter grated (frozen)
1 cup milk, plus more if necessary

Chicken and Biscuit Bake

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl whisk together the cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, seasoning and black pepper. Whisk until fully combined and most of the lumps are gone.
3. Next, add peas and carrots, onions, cheddar cheese and chicken. Stir to combine.
4. Pour this mixture into prepared baking dish.
5. Start making your biscuits.
6. In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Grate the butter and dump it into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a fork to mix in the cold butter pieces until the mixture resembles a coarse meal with little pea size or smaller lumps throughout.
7. Gradually stir in milk. Add just enough milk until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl. It should still look somewhat dry and be a bit sticky.
8. Scoop dollops of dough onto the top of your prepared casserole.
9. Bake uncovered for about 40-45 minutes. Biscuits will puff up while cooking so they should be golden brown and you should see the liquid bubbling around the edges. Bake until the biscuits are baked through and browned.
10. If you are unsure if it is done in the middle, just add on a few extra minutes to the cooking time to make sure all the biscuits are fully cooked. If necessary, cover the top of the baking dish with aluminum foil so it doesn’t get any darker but will allow the biscuits to keep cooking.

Cooking Tips

Preheat your oven fully before baking. A hot start sets biscuits that stay lofty and light.
Keep your butter icy cold when making the biscuit dough. This creates flaky layers as it melts in the oven.
Use a mix of peas and carrots because the peas lend snap and the carrots add a sly sweetness that dances with the cheddar.
If your filling seems too thick, stir in a tablespoon or two of milk before baking. Better to err on the side of saucy than stodgy.
To prevent soggy bottoms, bake on the middle rack, not the bottom. Hot air needs to circulate under that dish to crisp things up.
For cleaner edges when serving, let the casserole rest 5–10 minutes before scooping. Liquid settles and flavors concentrate.

Recipe Variations

Spicy Fiesta Twist: Stir in a diced jalapeño, add 1 teaspoon chili powder, and swap cheddar for pepper jack. Top with cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
Herb Garden Escape: Fold fresh chopped thyme, rosemary, and parsley into both the filling and biscuit dough. Roast a few garlic cloves and dollop on top before baking.
Creamy Mushroom Upgrade: Replace half the chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup and toss in 1 cup sliced sautéed mushrooms for umami depth.
Vegetarian Comfort: Skip the chicken, double the peas and carrots, and stir in 1 can drained chickpeas for protein. Season with smoked paprika.
Cheesy Cornbread Finale: Swap the flour in the biscuit topping for 1 cup flour + 1 cup yellow cornmeal. Add 2 tablespoons honey for sweet-savory bliss.
Keto-Style Makeover: Use almond flour blend in place of flour and make biscuits with cream cheese and egg. Top with crushed pork rinds for crunch.

Chicken and Biscuit Bake

Here’s the real tea: this Chicken Pot Pie Casserole with Biscuit Topping is the dinner equivalent of flannel pajamas and a crackling fireplace. It speaks to the part of you that craves uncomplicated joy and a reminder that comfort food can be both homey and chic.

It’s the ultimate weeknight showstopper when adulting feels like it’s winning, and the safest fallback when impromptu guests text “Be there in 10.” Caring for yourself sometimes means dolloping dough on bubbling chicken filling and dialing the stress level down from chaotic to cozy.

Beyond taste, there’s a ritual in making this dish, too. Grating butter on a box grater, whisking the soup until it sings, and hearing that oven timer ding—it’s a mini-ceremony that says you’re doing something nice for yourself and everyone at your table.

Keep leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch and thank me later. Reheat a portion in the microwave for 2 minutes, or better yet, crisp it up under the broiler for that just-baked freshness.
