1 cup chicken broth

How to Make Cozy Chicken Pot Pie Casserole

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), letting the warmth fill your kitchen as you prepare.
In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir it all up until everything is beautifully combined, creating a luscious filling.
Pour this creamy mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Open the biscuit dough and arrange the biscuits on top of the mixture, nestling them gently like little pillows.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are a glorious golden brown and the filling is bubbling with delight.
Let it cool slightly before serving to avoid the cozy casserole lava effect. Enjoy your heartwarming dish!

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make-Ahead Magic: You can prepare everything a day in advance. Just cover the dish and store it in the fridge! When you’re ready to eat, bake it right from the fridge; just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
Leftover Love: Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat in the oven for best results, so those biscuits stay nice and fluffy.
Ingredient Swaps: Don’t have cream of chicken soup? Cream of mushroom works beautifully too! You can also use leftover turkey if that’s what you have on hand for a post-Holiday dinner.
