How to Make a Chicken Pot Pie Bake

This chicken pot pie bake is one of our favorite dishes to pull together when you’re short on time. It’s made using pantry staple ingredients you may already have on hand, and the recipe is so easy it’s practically foolproof! Before we get into the detailed instructions below, he re’s how to make an easy chicken pot pie in just 3 simple steps.

Heat Oven and Spray Baking Dish

While your oven heats, lightly spray your glass baking dish with the cooking spray of your choice to prevent sticking.

Mix and Pour Pot Pie Filling

In a large bowl, mix up the shredded rotisserie chicken, canned cream of chicken soup, frozen veggies, and shredded cheese until combined. Pour the mixture into your baking dish and spread it evenly to create a layer of yummy filling.

Assemble Pot Pie

Separate the can of biscuits, cut each one into quarters and place the biscuit pieces in a medium bowl. Drizzle melted butter on top of the quartered biscuits and toss them in the butter until they’re fully coated. Time to finish off the assembly! Spread the buttery biscuit dough pieces in an even layer on top of the chicken mixture in your baking dish.

Bake

You’re all set to place your chicken pot pie with biscuits in the oven! Baking it thoroughly should take about 20 to 22 minutes, but baking times may vary from oven to oven. To ensure your chicken pot pie is cooked through, check that the biscuits are golden brown and the center of the casserole is bubbling. This fan-favorite dish is always a hit, wherever and whenever you serve it up!

What to Serve with Chicken Pot Pie Bubble-Up Bake

Just like Classic Chicken Pot Pie, this hearty bubble-up bake makes a tasty main dish for family dinner! Thanks to the frozen veggies and satisfying chicken filling, it’s also a well-rounded meal all on its own—but if you want to serve up a couple of side dishes with your easy chicken pot pie, here are a few that would taste great.

Mashed Potatoes: A rich chicken pot pie with biscuits tastes extra delicious alongside creamy mashed potatoes! Pour some warm gravy on top for a little extra savory flavor.

Yams or Sweet Potatoes: If you’re a fan of potato sides but like something slightly sweeter, it’s hard to go wrong with sweet potatoes or yams! There are so many ways to make them, from brown sugar sweet potato casseroles to candied yams and classic mashed sweet potatoes.

Side Salad: If you want to get some more veggies in, just toss up a simple side salad while your pot pie is in the oven! Use some mixed greens, tomatoes, shredded carrots and other family-favorite vegetables.

Corn On the Cob: This buttery, savory and kid-friendly side dish tastes great with the creamy, rich pot pie filling and flaky biscuits—and it’s super easy to make and eat!

How to Store Leftover Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits

Make sure to let your baking dish cool to room temperature before storing it in the fridge—this will help prevent condensation, which can make a chicken pot pie bake turn soggy! Transfer your cooled leftovers to an airtight container or keep them in the original baking dish and cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store your leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 or 4 days.

We don’t recommend freezing and reheating this recipe—you’ll end up with an overly soggy mess! Stick with the fridge, or make a fresh chicken pot pie bake for the best taste.

How to Reheat Chicken Pot Pie Bake with Biscuits

If you’ve followed the storage instructions above for your leftover chicken pot pie bake, here’s how to reheat and eat it when you’re ready to enjoy a yummy meal!

For the best texture, we’d recommend using the oven to reheat any refrigerated leftovers. Place the leftovers in an oven-safe dish, cover them with foil and place in a 350°F oven to heat until they’re steaming hot and at least 165ºF in the center.

You’ll want to avoid the microwave: microwaving your leftover chicken pot pie bake can make your biscuits overly hot and gummy in some spots and too chewy in others.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Garnish the top of the casserole with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
  • tip 2
    Baking times vary from oven to oven. To ensure your chicken pot pie is completely cooked, wait until the biscuits are golden brown and the center of the casserole is bubbling.
  • tip 3
    If you substitute a different creamy soup for your base such as cream of mushroom or cream of celery, be careful to check that the sodium content isn’t higher than the can of cream of chicken soup with herbs the recipe calls. Consider using a low-sodium creamy soup if you are sensitive to salt.
