AN EASY, CREAMY CHICKEN CASSEROLE
Is there anything more comforting than a casserole? I love to make casseroles because they are so simple to throw together and so easy to serve. One of my favorite meals to make is this chicken and biscuits casserole. It uses simple ingredients but it packs a lot of flavor! The biscuits and chicken are all cooked and simmered in a creamy gravy. This is one that your whole family will love!
This turned out SO good! The flavor and seasoning are perfect. This will definitely be on our regular menu rotation!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Some other seasoning options are: cajun seasoning, seasoned salt or ranch seasoning.
I just get a store-bought rotisserie chicken and cut it up. You get additional flavor for your casserole but it’s also just much easier. However, you can boil up some chicken or roast it in the oven.
As for the biscuits, you can pretty much use any canned biscuit. It’s just a matter of cutting the biscuits into smaller pieces. I used the smaller biscuits for this and cut them into fourths. If you can only find the larger Grands biscuits (in the 16 ounce can) – you will only use 6 of the biscuits (instead of the 8 it comes with) and you’ll need to cut them into sixths because they are much larger.
I use what is available. Most of the time I am using Pillsbury. Normally I wouldn’t use the flaky layers biscuits but that’s all I have been able to find lately so I went with those and it still worked fine. They just tend to separate a bit as you eat.
Colby Jack, Pepper Jack, Monterey Jack, Gouda or triple cheddar all work well with this recipe.
I don’t recommend it. You could technically freeze it but the texture won’t be the same once it is defrosted.
Put any leftovers in an airtight container and it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)
- cream of chicken soup – you can use any cream soup you like or you can even make it homemade with this recipe here.
- milk – I prefer 2% milk fat or higher
- rotisserie seasoning – this is just a blend of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt and pepper – you can buy it where the other seasonings are located in your grocery store
- canned biscuits – use your favorite biscuits for this, I like the buttermilk flaky layers but you can use any your family prefers
- frozen peas and carrots – frozen works best here instead of the canned since they hold up better to the cooking process – I don’t recommend fresh because the cooking time isn’t long enough for fresh carrots to fully cook and soften
- shredded cheddar cheese – you can use any of your favorite shredded cheese here
- cooked chicken – I usually just use a store-bought rotisserie chicken or you can use any leftover chicken you might have
HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN AND BISCUITS
Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl whisk together the cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, rotisserie seasoning and black pepper. Whisk until fully combined and most of the lumps are gone.
Open the can of biscuits and separate each biscuit. Cut each biscuit into fourths.
Add the biscuits to the bowl and stir to combine.
Next, add peas and carrots, cheddar cheese and chicken. Stir to combine.
Pour this mixture into prepared baking dish.
Bake uncovered for about 35-45 minutes. Biscuits will puff up while cooking so they should be golden brown and you should see the liquid bubbling around the edges.
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. Allow to cool for a few minutes, top with sliced green onions, then serve!

yummy!!!
Great recipe the only I did different was i used a box of red lobster Biscuits on the top its delicious golden brown crust
I have an incredible 10×15, massive baking dish. I was able to double the recipe AND instead of putting the dough in raw, I par-baked them, cut them in 1/4ths, and piled em on top, pressing them in lightly. Baked for 40 mins covered, 10 uncovered. INCREDIBLE
So easy to make and super delicious!
I made a few small, but delicious, additions to this recipe. I incorporated sliced mushrooms (which I cooked beforehand) and pearl onions.
The main change I made was how I handled the biscuits. Instead of mixing them into the main casserole mixture, I pressed them gently onto the top after pouring the filling into the dish. This technique worked perfectly!
It was super delicious and is now a family favorite!
could I make this in an electric fry pan?
I don’t think so
Literally like this recipe am having it tonight
I am excited to try this! My sons do not care for peas or carrots. Have you tried it with other vegetables? I was thinking of using corn and/or green beans.
Sure I think you could make it with those 🙂
I use whatever veggies I have. no peas. Definitely green beans and usually corn. mbbrocoli if they like that?
My kids loved it. Dad loved it. I loved it. Friends loved it. I’m eating it right neeoooww! Easy to make
What kind of biscuits…regular. buttermilk or flaky layers?
Any kind, I include an ingredient photo above if that helps
So yummy! A nice comforting meal!
Thanks so very much Shelby!
can this be made in the slow cooker
Possibly but I haven’t tested it
Countering the 1 star review that someone left without trying it, but I am going to make this tonight and I know I will love it! Nice recipe.
Delicious! My 10 year old twins made this and they did an amazing job (thanks to your excellent instructions and pictures and video!) It turned out so good and we will make it often!
My 19 yr old son said this was his favorite dish ever, and it was the first time I made anything like it. Thank you!
Ha! I absolutely love hearing that! Thank you CJ!
My husband and I love this recipe! I have made it once a month since I found it. tonight we even got our 3-year-old to eat a plateful! We use ranch seasoning and slow cook the chicken breast. Very tasty and easy – a one pan meal! Thanks for sharing.
Why would you give this recipe one star if you have not tried it? You could have left 5 stars and then modified your review after asking your question.
What is rotisserie seasoning? Thanks
I have it included in the ingredient photo above if that helps. McCormick also makes rotisserie chicken seasoning 🙂 I got mine from Pampered Chef but there are lots of different brands. It’s basically a mixture of salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and thyme. There are homemade recipes online if you want to make it homemade. It’s a fantastic all purpose seasoning.
I’ve never tried it. Once you open the can of biscuits, it’s like they get activated so it is possible they may not rise as much but you still might be ok. Let me know if you try it!
My family really enjoys this quick and easy dinner. It has become a family favorite. As a matter of fact, I have one in the oven right now.
This is absolutely delish! Made exactly as written, it’s simple, tasty and quick. This recipe can be easily customizable to use your favorite herbs and spices and it will still be yummy! Thank you, Brandie!
Awesome easy recipe. Thanks for sharing. My husband loved it too.
Thanks so much Marie!
