How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Casserole
Be sure to see the recipe card below for full ingredients & instructions!
- Preheat the oven and prepare the baking dish.
- Cook the celery, carrots, and onions in butter. Add garlic.
- Add the chicken and mushrooms.
- Sprinkle flour over the mixture.
- Stir in the chicken broth.
- Stir in white wine and cream.
- Season to taste.
- Pour the mixture into the casserole dish.
- Top off with biscuits.
- Bake, then let cool, and enjoy!
Ingredient Notes
- Shredding an already made rotisserie chicken from the grocery store will save you some time, rather than cooking your own chicken.
- Even if your kids hate mushrooms, it’s okay – the way they’re baked into the casserole makes them inconspicuous. They’ll never even know they’re in there!
- Use a dry white wine like chardonnay.
- Freshly ground black pepper yields the best flavor.
You’ll need 3 cups of cooked, shredded chicken for this casserole. This is a wonderful way to use up leftover chicken. However, I like to pick up a rotisserie chicken and shred it to save time.
Absolutely! Instead of pre-made biscuits, top this chicken pot pie casserole with homemade biscuits. I love this easy Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits recipe!
Yes. Replace the wine with the same amount of chicken broth.
Serving Ideas
Serve this southern staple of a dinner with some other classics from below the Mason Dixon line!
I don’t know what’s more satisfying – the fluffy, warm biscuits or the creamy chicken filling. That’s why I make sure there’s always a little bit of both on my fork with each bite!
Recipe Tips and Notes
- Avoid using sweet white wines like riesling.
- Try not to over bake this casserole! As soon as the biscuits are a delicious golden brown color after about 30 minutes of baking, the casserole’s ready to be removed from the oven.
- Remember to let the casserole cool for about 10 minutes prior to serving. It’ll be pretty hot, and no one like to burn their tongue!
This casserole may be even better than a traditional chicken pot pie.
What can I use instead of heavy cream?
Use an equal amount of half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
Can I use fresh herbs?
Definitely! Use 2-3 tablespoons of chopped fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, oregano, and basil.
How long will my leftovers stay fresh?
In an airtight container in the fridge, any leftovers you have of this casserole will stay fresh for about 3-4 days.
Creamy chicken pot pie filling is deliciously flavored and made with rich, decadent ingredients that make it supremely comforting! Once you top it off with biscuits, this casserole becomes truly unforgettable.

I want to try this recipe!! Can I use evaporated milk instead of heavy cream or half n half? And also, I’m wondering if the bottoms of the biscuits will be doughy? Thanks! By the way, I also love your Cookie Rookie website!!
Becky Hardin says
You can try half and half. I haven’t had issues with it being doughy if cooked long enough!
Sue Mills says
My neighbor raved about this recipe and she was 100% right! It is delicious and one of my favorite dinners to share with friends and family. I DID increase the carrots and celery to 2 1/2 cups sliced and the mushrooms to 12 ounces without changing the amounts of any other ingredients. Loved it!
Becky Hardin says
Thanks for sharing, Sue!
Jessica Frost says
The smell while cooking was magnificent. The taste afterwards was awesome. I burned the tops of the biscuits but they were very easy to slice off the burnt parts
Becky Hardin says
Glad it was a hit!
Momma Nadine says

This recipe randomly showed up in my Instagram feed. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to make it!! I love chicken pot pie but have never had a good recipe … and most pot pie recipes are more involved than this one! I followed the recipe up a “T” with the exception, I used salted butter. The recipe also calls for mushrooms but I substituted a can of whole kernel corn (drained) because of my kids. If you’re like me and don’t cook with wine, just use an extra 1/4 cup of broth like the recipe says. I did add a bit more seasoning but it’s perfect just the way it is. Biscuits were not doughy. This is definitely a winner and one that will be added to my comfort food rotation!! My family LOVED it!!!!! You could take this to any pot luck and be confident that it’s going to be a crowd favorite!!! SO SO GOOD!!
Becky Hardin says
Thank you so much for the glowing review, Angela. 🙂

This is a great recipe that’s versatile but I feel like it needed more filling even though I increased the carrots and celery to 2.5 cups total (but next time would make it 3.) Not a fan of mushrooms so I added 2 cups of thawed Southern style hash browns (cubed potatoes) which was the perfect amount!
Next time I will add an additional cup of chicken. I used Pinot Grigio and the flavor it added to the sauce was fantastic! Do not use extra broth, get a dry white wine to create a depth of flavor!! I added some extra milk and heavy whipping cream to get the sauce to the consistency I wanted.
I had to cover the dish with foil about 12 minutes into baking as my biscuits were already perfectly golden brown.
For left overs I stored the biscuits separately from the filling to avoid them soaking up the sauce. Going to make this dish again but with the above suggestions over the holidays for family and also plan on taking it to a church potluck. Thanks for this recipe. 🙂
