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

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.
Great recipe. I made mine in a cast iron skillet and just baked it in that as well. I used carrots, celery and onion; forgot all about the peas and pimientos, but we didn't miss it a bit. I loved the biscuit recipe and will be using it for my biscuits from now on! Very good meal for a chilly fall evening.
This was not bad but in no way does it give you 8 servings. The 2 of us had it 2 nights in a row. I swapped out the 2% milk for 3/4 cup half and half and 1/4 cup of white wine and added 1/4 tsp black pepper and 1 clove of minced garlic.
