Rotisserie Chicken Casserole
- A rotisserie chicken is the shortcut you need for this easy chicken casserole – it's ready in a flash!
- Make sure the filling is thick and not too watery before adding the biscuits on top. If it’s too runny, simmer it a little longer to reduce the liquid.
- To get golden, evenly cooked biscuits, brush them with an egg wash or heavy cream before baking. This adds a beautiful shine and color.
- Keep an eye on the biscuits as they bake. If they start browning too quickly but the filling needs more time, cover the dish loosely with foil to prevent burning.

Yes, you can make the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to bake, top it with biscuits and cook as directed.
You don't need to bake the biscuits first. Just place them right on top of the hot filling and they'll cook perfectly in the oven.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
Refrigerate: Store leftover chicken pot pie in the casserole dish covered or transfer it to an airtight container. It will keep for 1-2 days before the biscuits soften. For best results, you can remove the biscuits and store them separately.
Freezer: You can make this ahead of time and freeze it for later. Make as directed and transfer the filling to a 9x13 disposable dish. Cover with foil and freeze for up to 3 months.
Thaw and Reheat: When you’re ready, defrost overnight in the refrigerator. Top with the biscuits and heat at 350°F for 15-18 minutes until bubbly. For individual portions, microwave for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
