Chicken Potpie Casserole
I always have leftover chicken broth on hand and use it for many things, including this comforting and easy chicken pot pie casserole. You can bake your own biscuits, like I do, or buy them at the store. I like to bake extra biscuits to eat with butter and jam. —Liliane Jahnke, Cypress, Texas

So, we really liked this overall recipe. The gravy/sauce part of it was yummy and rich. The biscuits were fluffy inside and made the dish so comforting. I agree, you may want to double sauce as it gets soaked up. I bet you can use Biquick mix or refrigerated rolls for an even faster dish (and frozen veggies as many mentioned). Would make again.
This is a great basic recipe that can easily be tweaked to meet individual tastes. You can substitute fresh vegetables for frozen, add additional seasonings...modify to your taste. I have never made biscuits from scratch so I was a bit apprehensive; they weren't the pretties but tasted good. I'll definitely make this again and work on my biscuit technique. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
I love chicken pot pie and this recipe sounds yummy. I can't eat mushrooms and dont like pimento so I'm substituting a bag of frozen baby Lima beans and more sweet onion. I'm also going to give already prepared biscuits from the dairy case a try instead of making them from scratch and see how this turns out. I'm also thinking about trying puff pastry in the future.
I am making this tonight but I am leaving out the mushrooms, onions and pimientos. I am using peas, greenbeans, corn and carrots and instead of using the biscuit recipe I am making Red Lobsters cheddar bay biscuits to put on top. My brother made it that way and he said it was delicious and a big hit with his husband.
Make sure the liquids are doubled, as the bisquits suck up the broth if you don’t. I make this casserole often with any roasted meat: chicken,beef or pork and always use plenty of broth or gravy-YUM!
Awesome fall / winter dinner. I did omit the pimentos and mushrooms as i did not have on hand. For vegetables, I added peas, green beans and corn. Also no 2% milk, so I substituted 3/4 cup half 'n half. I also added about 3 tsp. Herb Ox granules to the College Inn broth for more flavor. I did use Pillsbury biscuits due to to time constraints ....OK, easier,too. Served with whole berry cranberry sauce on the side.
To finish my review..
Delicious! I left out the mushrooms because I don't like them and used a little extra of the peas and carrots. I also bought a rotisserie chicken which I cut up. These biscuits are definitely the best I have ever made! Don't cheat and buy the refrigerated tube; it's well worth the little bit of effort.
well said, LiLian.I agree with that rating.
This is a very good recipe. Because we like extra veggies I added frozen corn, fresh green beans ( cooked ) and substituted the pimentos for diced red bell pepper, from the garden. It also freezes very well. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
