This creamy chicken casserole is a comforting dish perfect for any family meal. It combines tender chicken with a rich sauce, fresh vegetables, and flaky biscuits.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups shredded chicken
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 bag (10-12 oz) frozen peas and carrots
- 1–1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1/3 cup chicken stock (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon (2 cloves) minced garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tube of flaky biscuits
- Parsley for garnish
- 2–3 cups shredded cheese
- 1 cup chopped onions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet or dutch oven, melt the room-temperature butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking them until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
- Add in the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes until they release moisture and become tender.
- In a large bowl, add frozen vegetables, shredded chicken, cheese, heavy cream, and mushroom mix. Season the creamy sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together until they are well combined. Add more heavy cream or chicken stock if you prefer a saucier casserole.
- Transfer the creamy filling that contains tender chicken to a 9X13-inch casserole dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray or brushed with melted butter.
- Place the biscuits in a single layer over the filling and brush butter over them.
- Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until the biscuits turn golden brown and then cover your homemade chicken pot pie with aluminum foil. Cook it for a baking time of about 10 minutes.
- Serve your creamy casserole and enjoy!
Notes
