Recipe FAQ
Prevent Soggy Biscuits?
- Par bake the biscuits and place the browned side down. The lightly baked portion will act as a barrier and help keep the rest of the biscuit from getting soggy.
Make Individual Servings?
- Use 8 ramekins, mini pie plates, or another smaller oven-safe dish. Add the filling to each of the smaller-sized baking dishes, place the biscuit dough on each dish, and bake at 350°F for 17-20 minutes.
Can you Freeze Chicken Pot Pie Casserole?
- Unbaked. Pour the Chicken and vegetable sauce into the casserole dish and let it cool. Wrap with plastic wrap and again with foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, add the biscuits, and bake according to the recipe directions.
- Baked. Allow the casserole to cool before wrapping it in plastic and aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw before reheating.
How to Store Leftover Chicken Pot Pie Casserole?
- Allow to cool and store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
