This looks like a great chicken and bisquit dish! Pat
How do you get your biscuits to cook all the way through? Every recipe I’ve tried like this one I pull the casserole out of the oven and the top of the biscuit is perfect and golden brown and the part that touches the filling is still doughy and completely raw. Please tell me your secret, I would love to put this recipe on my list!!
There are two things that you can try. One being, the foil method indicated. The other being that you could wait and just add the biscuits after you freeze/thaw the dish.
I had the same question as Jessica…but you’ve solved the dilemma!!!
I made it today. I doubled it and made a 9 x 13 pan. The only thing I would change is to add a little milk or heavy cream to it, mine was a little dry. The biscuits turned out perfect
Thanks for the feedback!!
This is absolutely going on my next crazy, bulk chicken cooking list. (Coming up soon since Zaycon foods just announced their fall chicken sale!)

I’ve made dishes similar to this and cut the biscuits in half (so they are only half as thick). My biscuits seem to cook all the way through that way.
Great suggestion!
I made this 2 batches of this today. I am freezing them without the biscuits. I plan to add biscuits when I bake it. Would you suggest I thaw before I add the biscuits and bake or just add the biscuits on top without thawing first and baking?
Thanks!!!
I would thaw first.

This was ok for us. I like chicken casserole better. It just seemed to doughy and fatty I guess lol It was good my little one ate it up, and my husband didn’t complain. It just did wow me. I’ll keep it for a cold rainy day though :D
I make something similar from the one of the Barefoot Contessa cookbooks. It’s D-Lish! I use the Pillsbury frozen biscuits instead of the refrigerated ones in the tubes. They taste more like homemade.
