Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, consider adding a splash of milk or sour cream to the soup mixture. If you don’t have pimento, roasted red peppers make a great substitute. You can also use leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience. For a twist, try adding some shredded cheese on top of the biscuit dough, which pairs beautifully with Chicken, Cheese And Rice Bake.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Chicken Biscuit Pie with a fresh garden salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. A side of cranberry sauce can add a nice touch of sweetness. It also works well with mashed potatoes or a light soup, such as 2-Step Vegetable Soup, to create a comforting dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pie in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions, but the biscuits may lose their crispiness.
