Why this chicken and biscuits recipe works

The prep time with this recipe is super short because you can use store bought rotisserie chicken or chicken from a previously cooked meal. You also don’t have to worry about making anything from scratch as you’ll use refrigerated biscuits, cream of chicken soup in the can, frozen mixed vegetables, and traditional seasonings. I like to call this dish chicken bubble up casserole!

Once everything is dumped into the crock pot, the cooking time is just about 4 hours, which means you can start this meal early in the day and have it ready just in time for dinner. I know your whole family will enjoy this meal.

Recipe Ingredients

Ingredients for chicken bubble up casserole on a table.
  • Rotisserie Chicken: This type of shredded chicken is known as a healthier choice of chicken because of the way it’s cooked. It’s also tastier because of the seasonings often used when cooking it.
  • Biscuits: Skip making homemade biscuits and use the biscuit dough in the can. You’ll cut them into cubes for easier cooking and mixing into the chicken mixture.
  • Frozen Vegetables: Like a pot pie, this recipe uses a vegetable medley of frozen peas, corn, carrots, and green beans.
  • Shredded Cheese: Cheddar cheese makes any casserole dish better.
  • Creamy Sauce Mixture: Milk and cream of chicken soup help create the creamy sauce base that the chicken, biscuits, and vegetables slow cook in.
  • Seasonings: Black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and chili powder combine to create an irresistible flavor.

Recipe FAQs

Can I cook this in the oven?

Yes. Follow the directions for mixing and pour everything into a prepared baking dish. Place the baking dish into a preheated oven (no more than 375 degrees) and cook for 35-45 minutes uncovered until the biscuits are no longer doughy.

What are some good toppings for this biscuit casserole?

Extra cheese, a dollop of sour cream, chopped bacon, and chopped green onions make perfect toppings.

What other types of cheese go good with this meal?

Pepper Jack will add a nice subtle kick. Any type of cheddar (mild or sharp) tastes great. And you can even add mozzarella cheese.

What’s the easiest way to make biscuits for this chicken and biscuit casserole?

If you can’t find Pillsbury biscuits, using a bisquick mix would be the easiest route to take as all you have to do is add water.

Is there a way to add a different flavor to this easy chicken recipe?

Yes. Add in ranch dressing mix to give it a ranch twist (half a packet), skip the other seasonings if you do this.

How do I store leftover chicken and biscuits casserole?

Add any remaining casserole into an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat over medium heat to medium high heat.

    Could this be cooked on low over a longer period of time?

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      I don’t think it could go much longer, maybe 5 hours at the most. Might burn on the edges.

  2. June Uss says:

    can you use ground beef instead of chicken and then just replace the chicken soup with mushroom soup?

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      I don’t see why not, I would brown the beef first.

    Have you made this with uncooked fresh chicken?

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      I have not tested with uncooked chicken, it may work though with a little more cooking time.

  5. Anthony smith says:

    Living in England I have heard of biscuits but never actually seen them to buy, are they like dumplings. The recipe sounds lovely & I would love to try it out

  6. Tim says:

    Do you have any recipes with under 1000mg of sodium. Your recipe’s look delicious but very high in fats and sodium.

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      I do, if you are on a low sodium diet you can change ingredients to make them lower as well.
