FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ’S)

What other seasoning can I use?

Some other seasoning options are: cajun seasoning, seasoned salt or ranch seasoning.

What is the best way to cook the chicken for this recipe?

I just get a store-bought rotisserie chicken and cut it up. You get additional flavor for your casserole but it’s also just much easier. However, you can boil up some chicken or roast it in the oven.

I can’t find the smaller biscuits. What else can I use?

As for the biscuits, you can pretty much use any canned biscuit. It’s just a matter of cutting the biscuits into smaller pieces. I used the smaller biscuits for this and cut them into fourths. If you can only find the larger Grands biscuits (in the 16 ounce can) – you will only use 6 of the biscuits (instead of the 8 it comes with) and you’ll need to cut them into sixths because they are much larger.

What are the best brand of biscuits to use?

I use what is available. Most of the time I am using Pillsbury. Normally I wouldn’t use the flaky layers biscuits but that’s all I have been able to find lately so I went with those and it still worked fine. They just tend to separate a bit as you eat.

What other cheese can I use instead of cheddar?

Colby Jack, Pepper Jack, Monterey Jack, Gouda or triple cheddar all work well with this recipe.

Can this casserole be frozen?

I don’t recommend it. You could technically freeze it but the texture won’t be the same once it is defrosted.

How do I store leftovers?

Put any leftovers in an airtight container and it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)

  • cream of chicken soup – you can use any cream soup you like or you can even make it homemade with this recipe here.
  • milk – I prefer 2% milk fat or higher
  • rotisserie seasoning – this is just a blend of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt and pepper – you can buy it where the other seasonings are located in your grocery store
  • canned biscuits – use your favorite biscuits for this, I like the buttermilk flaky layers but you can use any your family prefers
  • frozen peas and carrots – frozen works best here instead of the canned since they hold up better to the cooking process – I don’t recommend fresh because the cooking time isn’t long enough for fresh carrots to fully cook and soften
  • shredded cheddar cheese – you can use any of your favorite shredded cheese here
  • cooked chicken – I usually just use a store-bought rotisserie chicken or you can use any leftover chicken you might have

HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN AND BISCUITS

Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl whisk together the cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, rotisserie seasoning and black pepper. Whisk until fully combined and most of the lumps are gone.

Bake uncovered for about 35-45 minutes. Biscuits will puff up while cooking so they should be golden brown and you should see the liquid bubbling around the edges.

If you are unsure if it is done in the middle, just add on a few extra minutes to the cooking time to make sure all the biscuits are fully cooked. If necessary, cover the top of the baking dish with aluminum foil so it doesn’t get any darker but will allow the biscuits to keep cooking. Allow to cool for a few minutes, top with sliced green onions, then serve!
