“Shredded chicken, tender pasta, rich creamy soup, and a bubbly cheddar-biscuit crust—5 simple ingredients baked into pure comfort food perfection!”

Directions and Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, pressing it into the corners and up the sides for easy cleanup. Lightly grease the foil with a bit of cooking spray or oil.
2. Spread the uncooked pasta evenly across the bottom of the foil-lined pan.
3. Scatter the shredded cooked chicken evenly over the dry pasta.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup and the chicken broth until smooth and well combined.
5. Pour the soup and broth mixture slowly and evenly over the chicken and pasta.
6. Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into small pieces and scatter them over the top of the pan in a single layer.
7. Cover the pan tightly with foil, tenting it slightly so it doesn’t touch the biscuit pieces. Bake covered for 30 minutes.
8. After 30 minutes, carefully remove the top layer of foil and return the pan to the oven, uncovered, baking for another 20–25 minutes or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown.
9. If the biscuits are browning too quickly before the pasta is done, loosely lay the foil back over the top and continue baking until the pasta is fully cooked.
10. Once done, let the casserole rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. Use a large serving spoon to scoop through the biscuit topping to serve.

Notes or Tips

Feel free to customize this dish! You can add vegetables like peas or corn for an extra burst of flavor and nutrition. Using leftover chicken not only saves time but also minimizes waste. For a classic twist, consider adding a sprinkle of your favorite herbs, like thyme or rosemary, into the chicken broth mixture for an aromatic enhancement.

Cooking Techniques

One of the beauty of this recipe lies in its straightforward cooking technique. Layering the ingredients in your baking dish allows the flavors to meld beautifully as they cook. The baking process ensures that the pasta absorbs the creamy sauce while the biscuit topping becomes delightfully golden and flaky. Tenting the foil during baking prevents any sticking, ensuring that your meal comes out perfect every time!
