Do I need homemade or store-bought biscuits?

You can actually make this chicken pot pie casserole with either. They both cook for the same amount of time. So do whatever you like!

How do you store leftovers?

Store in the refrigerator for 2–3 days. The biscuits will become softer, so it’s best to warm them in the oven.

Can you freeze chicken pot pie casserole?

Yes! Put the casserole in a freezer container. Wrap it tightly and cover it with aluminum foil or a lid. Bake it from frozen when ready to heat and serve. You’ll need to add a few extra minutes of baking time. It will last in the freezer for 2–3 months.

Can I use turkey instead of chicken?

Yep, you can use diced or shredded turkey. Both work well. This is a great way to use up leftover turkey after the holidays, too!

Is it possible to make this a vegetarian dish?

Absolutely! To make it vegetarian, you can swap the chicken for more vegetables. Or if you prefer another meat substitute, that would work fine as well.

What do you serve with chicken pot pie casserole?

It goes well with a fresh salad with lots of veggies. It’s also pretty good with fresh fruit or some mashed potatoes.
