How to Make Chicken and Biscuit Casserole:
- Prepare the Chicken: Start by cooking the chicken if you’re using raw breasts. You can either bake, boil, or sauté the chicken. For quicker prep, rotisserie chicken works wonderfully. Shred or chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Make the Casserole Base: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the shredded chicken and frozen vegetables. Mix everything until the chicken and veggies are evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
- Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Now, it’s time for the biscuits! Take the biscuit dough and either place the biscuits whole on top of the casserole or cut them into smaller pieces, depending on your preference. For extra flavor, you can brush the tops of the biscuits with a little melted butter before baking.
- Bake and Serve: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. The casserole should bubble around the edges, signaling that everything inside is hot and ready to serve.

Tips for Making the Best Chicken and Biscuit Casserole:
- Rotisserie Chicken: If you’re in a rush, rotisserie chicken is a great time-saver and adds extra flavor to the dish.
- Homemade Biscuit Dough: While refrigerated biscuit dough is convenient, you can always make your own biscuits from scratch for a more personalized touch.
- Adding Cheese: For a cheesy version, sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese over the casserole 10 minutes before it’s done baking for a melty, cheesy crust.
- Spice It Up: If you like a bit of heat, add some red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the casserole base.
