How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Casserole
Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create a dish everyone will love.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well until combined.
- Pour the chicken mixture into a greased 9×13 inch casserole dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and place it over the chicken mixture, pressing the seams together to seal. This will create a delicious, flaky crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crescent roll topping is golden brown and irresistible.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Trust me, it will be worth the wait!
