Using a Rotisserie Chicken:

Using leftover rotisserie chicken is a perfect shortcut for this meal. (Be sure to make some homemade chicken stock with the carcass!)

Make-Ahead Method

  • You can prepare the filling ahead of time and refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • When you’re ready to bake, pour the mixture into a lightly greased casserole dish.
  • Mix the Bisquick at the very last minute prior to baking. This will ensure that the top layer is light, fluffy, and is a perfect biscuit-like consistency.

Storage

Refrigerator

  • If you prepared the filling 2 days prior, store the leftovers for up to 2 days. 
  • Otherwise, leftovers can be stored for up to 4 days.

Freezer

  • Leftovers make a great freezer meal as well and can be stored for up to 3 months.
  • To reheat, let frozen leftovers come defrost overnight in the fridge before reheating for best results.
  • Cover and bake the leftovers in a 350° oven for about 20-30 minutes, depending on the portion size.

  • Meanwhile, prepare biscuits in the oven according to package instructions. You'll want to make a minimum of four, (at least 1 for each person).
  • Add the golden brown biscuits to the top of the filling in the slow cooker, or slice each biscuit in half and spoon pot pie filling over the bottom biscuit and and top it with the other biscuit.

Notes

Note 1:
  • I like to purchase a rotisserie chicken for this meal because I use the chicken for the filling and make an easy chicken broth with the carcass that I also use for the filling. This gives it ultimate homemade flavor!

Note 2:
  • For the Crock Pot and Instant Pot methods, you can also transfer the prepared filling to a casserole dish and pour the Bisquick batter on top and bake it from there for the full casserole version.

  1. The ingredient list says 1/4 tsp of turmeric, but in the directions it says 1/2 tsp. Which is correct? Gonna make this for dinner tonight. Thanks!!

    • Hi Peggy! I like to use 1/4 teaspoon, sorry about that! ❤️

      • Thank you for being so prompt in answering my question. Getting ready to make this right now. Using chopped broccoli florets instead of peas, I don’t like peas. I’ll come back later tonight and give a review. I have a strong feeling it’s gonna be a good one! I love all of your recipes! I subscribe to ALOT of recipe sites but yours is my favorite!

      • I am sooo happy to hear that you’re loving my recipes Peggy!!! Thank you so much! 🙂

  2. Can I use puff pastry over the top or maybe even on the bottom instead of bisquick?

    • Hi Thomas! Puff Pastry on the top should work, I’m not sure of the exact time/temp, I’d refer to the package for guidance. The bottom may work as well, I haven’t tested it. ❤️

  3. I have a can of biscuits that I need to use so I plan to use that instead of the bisquick. Do you recommend baking the biscuits separately or can I bake on top of the chicken mixture similar to the bisquick?

    • Hey Stephanie! You can’t go wrong with baking them separately, sometimes the bottoms of the biscuits don’t bake as much as people want them to- and sometimes they do. If you bake the biscuits separately, I’d cover the chicken pot pie casserole dish with foil before baking.

      I also have this Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits recipe that you can check out! 🙂

  4. Can you freeze the filling and make it later?
