Instructions

Step 1 Cook the Chicken

I start by cooking the chicken until fully done then shredding or chopping it into bite sized pieces so it blends well into the casserole.

Step 2 Sauté the Vegetables

I melt butter in a skillet and add the onion carrots and celery then cook them gently until softened which builds a flavorful base.

Step 3 Add the Flour

I sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well allowing it to cook briefly so the sauce thickens smoothly later.

Step 4 Create the Sauce

I slowly pour in chicken broth and milk while stirring until the mixture becomes creamy and thick then season with salt and black pepper.

Step 5 Add Chicken and Vegetables

I stir in the cooked chicken corn and peas making sure everything is evenly coated in the sauce.

Step 6 Assemble the Casserole

I pour the filling into a baking dish and spread it evenly then place biscuit dough pieces gently on top.

Step 7 Bake Until Golden

I bake the casserole until the filling is bubbly and the biscuits are golden brown then let it rest briefly before serving.

Tips

From my experience cutting the vegetables evenly helps them cook at the same rate and creates a better texture. I also recommend letting the sauce thicken before transferring it to the baking dish so it does not turn runny. If the biscuits start browning too quickly I loosely cover the dish near the end. Letting the casserole rest for a few minutes helps everything set nicely.

Ways to Serve

I love serving Old-Fashioned Chicken and Biscuit Casserole as a complete meal because it already has protein vegetables and bread all in one dish. It pairs nicely with a simple green salad for freshness or steamed green beans for a lighter side. For family gatherings I serve it straight from the baking dish which keeps it warm and inviting and makes serving easy.

Storage Instructions

I usually allow leftovers to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator where they keep well for several days. When reheating I prefer the oven so the biscuits stay fluffy though the microwave works for quick servings. If reheating from cold I cover the dish lightly to prevent the biscuits from drying out.
