Ingredients You’ll Need

All the ingredients are chosen to make this dish creamy, savory, and a bit lighter so that you can enjoy it guilt-free. This is what you’ll need:

• Shredded Chicken: Use rotisserie or leftover chicken for easy prep.
• Cream of Chicken Soup: For a creamy, comforting base.
• Greek Yogurt: Replaces sour cream for a protein boost.
• Cheddar Cheese: For that gooey, melty goodness.
• Mixed Veggies: Frozen veggies save time and add color.
• Refrigerated Biscuits: The key to the “bubble up” effect!

How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Bubble Up Casserole

Let’s keep this simple! All you need to do is mix, add the biscuits, and let the oven work its magic. Here’s a quick breakdown of the steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2. Mix the filling – shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, Greek yogurt, cheese, frozen veggies, and seasonings. The mixture should be creamy, thick, and coat everything well.
3. Add the biscuits – Cut them into quarters, toss them in, and fold to coat each piece.
4. Bake – Pour into the baking dish and bake for 35-45 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling hot.

Tip: You’ll know it’s ready when the top is beautifully golden, and the kitchen smells like comfort itself.

Storage and Serving Tips

Storage Tips

• Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The flavor and texture hold up well, making leftovers almost as good as the first serving!
• Freezing: Freeze the filling (without biscuit topping) in an airtight container for up to 3 months. When ready, thaw overnight, add biscuits, and bake as directed to keep the biscuits fluffy and fresh.

Serving Tips

Family Style: Serve the casserole right from the baking dish in the center of the table for a warm, homey feel. Let everyone help themselves!

Pair with Fresh Sides:

Crisp Salad: Serve with a simple salad of mixed greens, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and vinaigrette to cut through the casserole’s richness.

Roasted Veggies: Oven-roasted Brussels sprouts, green beans, or asparagus add a sweet, hearty pairing that complements the casserole’s savory flavors.

Finishing Touches:

Herb Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and subtle flavor.

Extra Cheese: Add a light sprinkle of cheese before serving and broil briefly for a golden, bubbly finish.

Tips and FAQs

Q: Can I make this gluten-free?
Absolutely! Replace the biscuits with a gluten-free biscuit dough or a gluten-free baking mix. And make sure to use a gluten-free version of cream of chicken soup.

Q: What if I don’t have Greek yogurt?
No worries. You can substitute it with light sour cream or a combo of low-fat cream cheese and milk for that creamy base.

Q: Can I freeze this casserole?
Yes! Prep the filling (without the biscuits), freeze it in an airtight container, and just thaw before baking. Add the biscuits right before baking for the best results.

Q: How do I customize the veggies?
Feel free to add in your favorites – fresh carrots, celery, or green beans work well. Steam or blanch them first, so they’re perfectly tender when baked.

Q: Can I make it vegetarian?
Sure thing. Swap out the chicken for plant-based “chicken” strips, or even add chickpeas for a veggie-forward, high-protein alternative.
