How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Casserole (Step-by-Step, Like Cooking With a Friend)

Alright, let’s actually get this going.

1. Prep Your Chicken

You’ll need cooked chicken.
You can:

• use leftover rotisserie (my personal lazy-happy choice),
  
• boil and shred,
  
• or sauté quickly.
  

Anything works.

2. Cook the Base

Heat butter in a pan. Add chopped onions and sauté until they get soft and slightly golden.

Add garlic… cook for a minute. Don’t burn it — burnt garlic tastes like regret.

3. Add Veggies

Throw in your mixed veggies. Frozen is totally fine — don’t overthink it.

Stir for 2–3 minutes.

4. Create the Creamy Filling

Sprinkle the flour over the veggies. Mix it. It’ll look weird and dry for a moment — totally normal.

Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring.
The mixture becomes thicker… smoother… creamier.

Now add milk or cream.
Boom — now it looks like real pot pie filling.

Add salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika.
Taste it — adjust however your heart tells you.
(Once I added way too much pepper and had to calm it down with extra milk. Happens.)

5. Add Chicken

Add your shredded chicken and mix.
Let everything simmer for 4–5 minutes.

It should be creamy but not watery.
If too thick → splash of milk.
If too thin → simmer a bit longer.

6. Assemble the Casserole

Grease your casserole dish.

Pour in the creamy chicken filling.
Smooth it out a little — doesn’t have to be perfect.

7. Add the Topping

Choose your style:

If using Bisquick topping

Mix biscuit mix + milk + egg.
Pour over the filling.
Spread gently.

If using canned biscuits

Just place the biscuits over the top.
Leave a little space between each — they expand like crazy.

If making homemade

Mix dry ingredients.
Cut cold butter into it.
Add milk.
Spoon dollops over the filling.

8. Bake

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling at the edges.

Your kitchen will smell ridiculous — like a bakery and grandma’s house had a baby.

9. Let It Rest (Important)

This step sounds boring but trust me — let it sit for at least 10 minutes.

Hot filling burns tongues. I’ve learned this the painful way.

Variations for Chicken Pot Pie Casserole

Sometimes you want something different. Here are some delicious twists:

1. Cheesy Chicken Pot Pie

Melty, dreamy, perfect.

2. Herb Explosion Version

Add rosemary + thyme + parsley.
Feels super fancy with almost no effort.

3. Turkey Pot Pie

Use leftover turkey instead of chicken.
Perfect for holiday leftovers.

4. Veggie-Only Pot Pie

Skip chicken. Add mushrooms + potatoes + beans.
Still super comforting.

5. Garlic Butter Topping

Brush melted garlic butter on top of biscuits before baking.
Seriously… just do it.

6. Spicy Southern Style

Add cajun seasoning + a little chili.
Total flavor explosion.
