Tips & Variations for Your Casserole:

  • Chicken Choice: For ultimate convenience, use a store-bought rotisserie chicken. Leftover roasted chicken or even poached chicken breasts work wonderfully too.
  • Add More Veggies: Feel free to customize! Mushrooms, corn, green beans, or diced potatoes can be fantastic additions. Just ensure they're pre-cooked or chopped small enough to cook through in the casserole.
  • Herb Boost: While basil is fantastic, try adding a pinch of dried thyme or rosemary to the biscuit mix for a different aromatic twist.
  • Cheesy Topping: A sprinkle of shredded cheddar or Gruyere cheese over the biscuits during the last 10 minutes of baking adds another layer of deliciousness.
