This is an easy dinner that the whole family loves. I use a ½ a rotisserie chicken in this dish (and freeze the other half of the chicken in a Ziploc bag for next time!). Once the biscuits are browned, the dish is covered with foil and baked a little more to soften the biscuits and give it a moist texture.
If you’d prefer, used homemade biscuits or buttermilk biscuits.
Serve this up with a side salad for a yummy weeknight meal!
Chicken & Biscuits
Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ onion chopped
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup flour
- ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning or to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup celery diced

- ½ cup light cream
- 1 cup frozen corn thawed
- ½ cup frozen green peas thawed

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place butter in a saucepan. Add onion and cook over medium heat until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add carrots and celery and cook until tender, about 5 minutes more.
- Sprinkle flour and seasonings into the carrot mixture, cook 1 minute.
- Whisk in cream and chicken broth a little bit at a time until smooth. It will seem thick at first. Continue adding a little at a time whisking until smooth. Simmer 1 minute.
- Add thawed corn and peas, and chicken. Add salt and pepper. Spread the chicken mixture into a 9x13 casserole dish.
- Mix chopped parsley into the biscuit mix. Drop the biscuit mix by large spoonfuls onto the chicken mixture.

Notes
· 1 1/3 cup flour
· 1 tablespoon baking powder
· ½ teaspoon salt
· ½ teaspoon garlic powder
· ¼ cup salted butter
· 2/3 to ¾ cup milk 1. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, & garlic powder in a medium bowl. Cut in cold butter with a fork to form crumbs the size of peas.
2. Add milk a bit at a time stirring after each addition until you make a dough that holds together but can be scooped with a spoon. If using pre-made or canned biscuits, cut each biscuit in half and place in skillet on top of chicken mixture. Bake 15 minutes, cover with foil and bake an additional 10 minutes. Serve warm.

This is amazing! I tried it with Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix instead!
Great idea!
Looking forward to making some of these recipies
I had’nt tried any of these recipes but want to. They seem to be good nutrients and family hot meals.
We hope you and your family love them, Billie Jean!
So easy to make! So delicious!
I thought this was absolutely delicious. I did use an herbed flavored rotisserie chicken and “Immaculate” biscuits (sliced it horizontally).
Looks delicious and if you can’t boil water, you should be capable of making this, it’s clear and cut for Chicken and dumplings from Facebook
I hope you love the recipe when you try it Sandi!
When is the chicken actually cooked? Or do you add to the broth raw?
This recipe calls for cooked chicken. I usually make extra baked chicken breasts or shredded Crock Pot chicken.
Absolutely perfect! So easy, and we all loved it!
Cutting biscuits in half, does that mean horizontally, or vertically?
Vertically so the pieces are just a little bit smaller for serving.
Looks good! Did you use the Pillsbury Grands biscuits, or the smaller ones? Also, is that an 10 or 12 inch skillet?
I used the smaller biscuits and a 10″ skillet.
Just made this, followed the recipe exactly, and everyone thought it was a great weekday meal..best of all no leftovers..
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Rick! :)
I assume its a regular size can of cream of chicken soup is that correct?
Yes, 10.5oz.
What is the red thing in the picture? There isn’t anything red in the recipe.
There is nothing red in the recipe :) The only color I see is the orange carrots. Hope this helps.
