Made completely from scratch in under an hour, this comforting chicken pot pie casserole is easy to make and full of flavor!
Here are a few more comfort food recipes we think you’ll enjoy – Chicken Pot Pie Soup, Mississippi Pot Roast, Crock Pot Beef Stew, and 5-Ingredient Tamale Pie.
This chicken casserole is a delicious dinner that comes together quickly but tastes like you worked on it all day long.
It’s full of juicy tender chicken and vegetables, all smothered in a creamy homemade sauce and then topped with light and fluffy biscuits. I actually like the biscuits in the casserole more than I like the pie crust in a typical pot pie.
This is the perfect dinner and ultimate comfort food for a cold winter night, and I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as my family does! Here’s how to make it –

Chicken Pot Pie Casserole
Ingredients
for the biscuits
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces
- 3/4 cup buttermilk, or milk plus a splash of vinegar
for the creamy chicken mixture:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken, I used rotisserie
- 1 package frozen mixed vegetables
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
To Make the Biscuits –
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the butter and cut in using a pastry cutter or two knives, until the butter is about pea-sized and smaller.
- Add the buttermilk and mix until just combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a rectangle that is about 6 x 9 inches.
- Fold each side of the dough over the middle (like you’re folding a letter) and pat out again to about 6 x 9 inches.
- Cut biscuits out of the dough using desired size of biscuit cutter (I usually use a 2 inch cutter).
To Make the Creamy Chicken Mixture –
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When the butter is melted, whisk in the flour to form a paste. Let cook 2-3 minutes, until golden.
- Slowly add the chicken broth, followed by the milk, whisking constantly and adding a little at a time to form a smooth sauce.
- Stir in the shredded chicken and vegetables and heat through.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
