Easy Chicken and Biscuits
This Easy Chicken & Biscuits recipe only takes 5 minutes to prep, making it perfect for weekday dinners, and it’s also a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey! Easy Chicken & Biscuits is like pot pie in a skillet! While the oven is heating, quickly simmer chicken and vegetables in condensed cream of potato soup- the soup makes a rich and creamy sauce that brings the filling together. Then, right in the skillet, just top the filling with refrigerated biscuits (we cut them up so you get bites of biscuit scattered all over the top) and bake until golden brown.
