Creamed Chicken and Biscuits Casserole

Step 2: Make the Biscuit Topping

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Pour in the buttermilk and gently stir until a soft dough forms — be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits dense.

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Use a round biscuit cutter (or a glass) to cut out biscuits.

Step 3: Assemble the Casserole

Place the freshly cut biscuits evenly over the top of the chicken filling. They don’t need to completely cover the surface — a few small gaps will allow steam to escape and keep the biscuits fluffy.

If you’d like a golden finish, brush the tops of the biscuits with a little melted butter or milk.

Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the casserole for 25–30 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and beautifully golden brown, and the filling is bubbling around the edges.

If the tops brown too quickly, loosely cover the dish with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Allow the casserole to rest for about 5–10 minutes before serving. This helps the sauce thicken slightly and makes it easier to scoop. Serve warm, with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color.

Each spoonful delivers creamy, savory chicken and tender vegetables under a blanket of buttery, flaky biscuits — pure comfort in every bite.
