Veggies – I use carrots and celery, but you can use any vegetables you have on hand or frozen vegetables. Green beans, peas, or corn are great additions.
Sauce – The creamy sauce is similar in flavor to chicken pot pie and it’s really quick to make. Use canned condensed soup or make homemade condensed cream of chicken soup for this recipe.
Biscuits – To keep it fast, use canned biscuits – if you’ve got time, you can make your own homemade biscuits.
How to Make Chicken and Biscuits
In a skillet, cook the onion. Add broth and vegetables and simmer for a few minutes.
Stir in the sauce and cooked chicken.
Top with biscuits and bake for 22 to 25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.

Skillet Chicken and Biscuits
An easy one-pan dinner loaded with veggies and chicken in a creamy sauce, topped with biscuits and baked until golden.
Prep Time 20 minutesminutes
Cook Time 35 minutesminutes
Total Time 55 minutesminutes
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a 12-inch cast iron skillet or oven-proof pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until softened.
Add carrot, celery, and chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook 4 minutes or veggies are slightly softened.
Remove from the heat and add the diced chicken, cream of chicken soup, parsley, and garlic powder. Mix well to combine.
Cut each biscuit into quarters and place in the skillet on top of the chicken mixture.
Transfer to the oven and bake for 22-25 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly and biscuits are browned.
Brush biscuits with additional melted butter if desired and serve warm.
Biscuits can be purchased in the refrigerator section of most grocery stores (any variety will work in this recipe). If you cannot find canned biscuits, you can substitute homemade biscuits in their place. If using homemade biscuits, ensure that the pan is not overcrowded. Extra biscuits can be baked on the side if needed. Variations:
I find the broth and condensed soup add enough salt but as always, season to taste with salt and pepper.
Feel free to add 1 cup of sharp cheddar cheese to the filling if desired.
This can be baked in a 2.5 qt casserole or baking dish, you may need additional baking time.

Ingredients for Monkey Bread
Biscuits – Choose any variety of canned biscuits – I most often use Pillsbury, but any brand will do. You can also make this with homemade biscuit dough as well.
Cinnamon Sugar –Cinnamon sugar flavors and sweetens the bite-size pieces of dough.
Nuts – Pecans are my first choice but you can leave them out to make it nut-free or replace them with walnuts, macadamia nuts, or slivered almonds.
Caramel Mixture – A simple mixture of brown sugar and butter creates a caramel-type sauce making it sticky delicious!
