Chicken Pot Pie Casserole Recipe

This easy chicken pot pie casserole only takes 20 minutes of prep, and the oven does the rest. You can also get everything prepped and leave it in the fridge until you are ready to eat dinner.

1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and then spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. In a large skillet, heat ¼ cup of the butter over medium-high heat, then, add the carrots, celery, and onion.
2. Cook: Cook the vegetables, stirring often, until they begin to tenderize, 6-8 minutes. Add the parsley, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper, cook for another 2-3 minutes, and remove the vegetables from the skillet.
3. Make a Roux: In the same skillet, heat the remaining ¼ cup of butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted, whisk in the flour to create a paste and cook for 1-2 minutes.
4. Pour and Whisk: Slowly whisk the chicken broth, half-and-half, and lemon juice into the flour and butter paste, ¼ cup at a time, whisking between pouring until the liquid is incorporated and the mixture becomes a gravy. Whisk the bullion into the gravy.
5. Stir and Cook: Add the cooked chicken and vegetables to the skillet with the gravy. Stir and cook for a couple of minutes to coat everything evenly, then pour the filling into the prepared baking dish.
6. Roll and Cut: Roll the biscuit dough to be about ½ an inch thick and chop it into bite-size pieces. Drop the biscuits on top of the casserole.
7. Bake and Serve: Bake the casserole for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
