Creamed Chicken and Biscuits- this homestyle southern recipe is pure comfort food and so easy to make. A creamy chicken mixture topped with tender, cheesy biscuits is such a hearty family meal.
Some shortcuts make this a quick and easy dinner recipe that only takes about 10 minutes to prep.
- Rotisserie chicken
- Frozen biscuits
- Condensed cream of chicken soup
You’ll need 4 cups of cooked, diced chicken for this recipe. I suggest using a rotisserie chicken or cooking some chicken in your crockpot the day before.
I like the taste of frozen biscuits better, but you can definitely use refrigerated biscuits. Homemade biscuits would be delicious too.
HOW TO MAKE CREAMED CHICKEN AND BISCUITS:
You’ll start by cooking some diced onion in butter until soft. Transfer to a large bowl and add a can of condensed chicken soup, 1 cup of sour cream, 1/2 cup of milk, 4 cups of diced, cooked chicken, 1 cup of peas and some black pepper. Stir well and transfer to a baking dish. Sprinkle 3/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top. Evenly place the biscuits on top. They will expand some. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden.
You can leave the peas out if you wish, or use a mixture of peas and carrots.
The creaminess of the chicken mixture combined with the cheesy, tender biscuits that get golden and crispy around the edges, makes this an amazingly tasty recipe. It can be made in just 30 minutes!

Pretty dang good!
I didn’t care for this recipe. I made it according to the instructions. It was bland no flavor. It needs some spices.
Excellent recipe! I make this over and over. Along with the onion I chop carrots and celery and cook with the onion. Not fond of peas. I bake biscuits separately and then pour the creamed chicken over the opened biscuits. Just my preference.
I would suggest baking the biscuits for a while first or on their own. The tops of mine were cooked, but the bottoms were raw. Had to throw it out. The chicken mix was good though. I’d make this again, but will probably cook the biscuits separately.
Super easy to make. Delicious comfort food recipe. Recipe easy to follow.
I made this recipe and it was so super quick to prepare!! It’s really delicious and you’re right the frozen biscuits really made it crunch.
I often make this recipe, adding celery, carrots and cubed potatoes. Great comfort food. How do you think it will taste with either cream of mushroom or celery soup? I am out of cream of chicken.☹️
