Hearty Dish That Is Just Great For A Crowd.

We’re such big fans of Chicken Pot Pie that we’ve made a Chicken Pot Pie Soup before. But for now, let’s scroll down to check out how easy it is to whip up this tasty casserole. 🍗🥧😋
How To Make The Best Chicken Pot Pie Casserole?
The secret to this casserole is giving your veggies some quality time in the pan, letting them sweat and get a little color. This step adds a wonderful depth of flavor that truly shines in the finished dish.
If you happen to have fresh peas, that’s awesome, but we totally love using frozen peas because you can get them any time of the year.

Recipe Notes And Helpful Tips:
If your biscuits seem a bit undercooked, just give them a few extra minutes in the oven to make sure they’re perfectly done. It’s a good idea not to use really thick biscuits because they’ll take longer to cook.
Frequently Asked Questions (FQAs):
1. Can I Substitute Chicken?
Yes. You can use leftover turkey to make a turkey pot pie, or leftover baked ham for a ham pot pie.
2. Do The Biscuits Get Soggy?
Homemade biscuits should not get soggy. They are fluffy and perfect from top to bottom and also don’t get soggy on the reheat. To prevent a soggy biscuit, bake the casserole right away after adding the biscuits.
3. Can I Use Store-Bought Biscuit Dough?
Yes, you can substitute store-bought biscuit dough. I do hope you give the homemade biscuits a try, though. The dough is quick and easy and comes together without any kneading or fancy equipment (although a pastry cutter makes the job even easier).
4. How Can I Tell When The Casserole Is Done?
The easiest way is with a kitchen thermometer. The internal temperature of your chicken casserole should read 165ºF.
5. How Do I Store Leftover Chicken Pot Pie Casserole?
Now, when it comes to storing leftovers, pop them in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for about 3 days. But remember, as time passes, the biscuits might get a little soft. For the crispiest biscuit topping, it’s best to enjoy this casserole on the same day you make it.
