I had some leftover chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, that I had cooked in the Crock-Pot, and I was tired of eating chicken sandwiches. What to do?

I noticed a tube of biscuits in the fridge that had been there a couple of weeks and thought I’d better use them. Then the light bulb came on, and I had an idea to make a chicken and biscuits casserole.

This is an easy one-dish meal and you can adjust the ingredients to suit your taste. I just used easy stuff and got most of it in the casserole.

I did forget to put the chopped onions in there when I was interrupted by a phone call, but it turned out quite good anyway. I also only used one can of condensed mushroom soup diluted with one soup can of water for the liquid. You can double this if you want a wetter casserole – and I’m going to do this next time I make this meal.

Chicken ‘N Biscuits Casserole

Butter

1 tube of biscuits

4-5 cups of cooked chicken

1 can green beans, drained

1/2 cup chopped onions

1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 can of condensed cream of mushroom soup (2 if you’d like a wetter casserole)

Seasoning to taste

I used a 13-inch casserole dish to make this and I buttered it quite liberally so the contents wouldn’t stick to the bottom.

Use a sharp knife to cut the biscuits into approximately 1-inch pieces and spread them over the bottom of the casserole dish. Spread the cooked chicken, cut or pulled into pieces, over the biscuits.

Be sure to drain the can of green beans, then spread the beans over the chicken and biscuits in the casserole. Don’t do like I did and forget to put the chopped onion pieces in there!

Use 1-1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese to spread over the casserole contents. 

I used one can of condensed cream of mushroom soup diluted with a soup can of water, and it was okay. Next time I’m going to try using two cans of the soup to make it more like the consistency of gravy.

Add any seasoning you wish.

Bake at 360 degrees for approximately 1 hour. You’ll enjoy this as a meal; maybe you’ll want to serve a salad on the side. Hope you’ll enjoy this often!
