Chicken And Biscuit Casserole
Creamy chicken and vegetable casserole topped with cheesy biscuits offers hearty comfort and bold flavors, perfect for family dinners or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a greased 8 x 12-inch baking pan, mix bacon, chicken, vegetables, tomatoes, and 2/3 cup grated cheese.
- Blend the cream of chicken soup with 3/4 cup milk and pour over the ingredients in the pan. Stir gently to combine.
- Cover and bake at 400°F for 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and reduce temperature to 350°F.
- Prepare the biscuit topping by combining 1 1/2 cups Bisquick, 2/3 cup milk, and 1/2 can onions.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit batter on top of the casserole to form biscuits.
- Bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown.
- Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake until melted.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using pancetta instead of bacon. If you want to lighten the dish, substitute low-fat cheese and use less cream of chicken soup. You can also add herbs like thyme or rosemary for an extra layer of flavor. If you don't have Bisquick, a homemade biscuit mix can be made using flour, baking powder, salt, and butter.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this hearty casserole with a side of mixed green salad or steamed broccoli for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with Charlotte'S Chicken & Rice for a larger gathering. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs can add a nice finishing touch to the dish.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, or microwave in individual portions. Adding a splash of milk before reheating can help maintain moisture in the biscuit topping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use leftover rotisserie chicken for this casserole?
Absolutely! Leftover rotisserie chicken is a perfect choice for this casserole, as it adds great flavor and saves time. Just make sure to dice it into bite-sized pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the dish.
What can I use instead of cream of chicken soup?
If you don't have cream of chicken soup, you can substitute it with homemade cream sauce or use a can of cream of mushroom soup for a different flavor. Mixing in some broth with a bit of flour can create a similar consistency and taste.
How do I make the biscuits fluffier?
To achieve fluffier biscuits, avoid overmixing the biscuit dough. Mix just until combined and let the batter rest for a few minutes before dropping spoonfuls onto the casserole. You can also add a touch more milk if the mixture seems too thick.
