I donโ€™t make Creamed Chicken and Biscuits Casserole when Iโ€™m feeling fancy or inspired. I make it when the dayโ€™s been long, my patience is thin, and I want dinner to feel like a deep breath. You know those evenings when everyoneโ€™s hungry but no one wants to decide anything? Yeah. Those.

The first time I made this casserole, I was half-exhausted and fully uninterested in trying something new. I needed dependable. Something that felt familiar, like the kind of meal youโ€™d eat at the table with mismatched chairs and a dog waiting for crumbs. As it baked, the biscuits puffed up and the sauce bubbled around the edges, and I remember thinking, Okayโ€ฆ this feels right.

Now, every time I make this chicken and biscuits casserole, it brings that same calm energy. Itโ€™s not flashy. It doesnโ€™t need to be. Itโ€™s cozy in a very real, everyday wayโ€”and honestly, I trust recipes like that the most.

Thereโ€™s something quietly brilliant about this Creamed Chicken and Biscuits Casserole.

Ingredient Notes

This chicken and biscuits casserole keeps things simple, but each ingredient has a reason for being here.

  • Cream of Potato Soup: This adds body and richness without shouting over everything else. Itโ€™s subtle, but it matters.
  • Cream of Chicken Soup: Brings in that familiar savory flavor that makes this dish feel like comfort food.
  • Milk: Loosens the sauce so itโ€™s creamy instead of thick and heavy.
  • Thyme & Poultry Seasoning: Just enough to make it taste like something youโ€™d recognize from childhood dinners.
  • Black Pepper: A quiet balance to all the creaminess.
  • Mixed Frozen Vegetables: Easy, practical, and totally acceptable hereโ€”just drain them well.
  • Cooked Chicken: Rotisserie chicken is my go-to. No judgment if you use leftovers.
  • Refrigerated Biscuits: They bake right on top and do most of the work for you. You wonโ€™t need all of them, and thatโ€™s okay.

How to Make Creamed Chicken and Biscuits Casserole?

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350ยฐF (177ยฐC). Spray a 9ร—13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray and set it aside. Nothing fancy here.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of potato soup, cream of chicken soup, milk, thyme, poultry seasoning, and black pepper. You want it smooth and cohesive before moving onโ€”this is your sauce base.
  3. Stir in the drained vegetables and cooked chicken until everything is coated and evenly mixed. Pour the filling into your prepared baking dish and spread it out.
  4. Cut the biscuits into quarters and scatter them over the top. Donโ€™t overthink it. This is a casserole, not a geometry exam.
  5. Bake for 25โ€“30 minutes, until the filling is bubbling and the biscuits are cooked through. To check, lift one from the center and make sure the bottom isnโ€™t doughy. If the biscuits need more color, slide the dish under the broiler for a minute or twoโ€”but stay close. Biscuits burn fast when they feel like it.
  6. If the tops are golden but the casserole needs more time, loosely tent it with foil and let it finish baking.

Storage Options

This Creamed Chicken and Biscuits Casserole keeps well in the fridge for about 3โ€“4 days. Cover it tightly and reheat in the oven if you have time, or microwave individual portions when you donโ€™t. The biscuits soften a bit, but the flavor holds upโ€”sometimes even better the next day, honestly.

Variations & Substitutions

This casserole is flexible, which is part of why I keep coming back to it.

  • Different Vegetables: Peas and carrots, corn, or green beans all work.
  • Turkey Instead of Chicken: Especially good after the holidays.
  • Extra Creamy: Add a splash more milk if you like a looser sauce.
  • Cheesy Version: A handful of shredded cheddar or mozzarella never hurts.
