Ingredients

• 12 ounces uncooked short pasta (rotini, penne, or cavatappi)
• 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or leftover chicken)
• 2 (10.5-ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
• 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 (16-ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into small pieces

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Dish

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a little oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Layer the Pasta and Chicken

Pour the uncooked pasta into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Add the shredded chicken on top, distributing it evenly so every serving gets a good amount of chicken.

Step 3: Mix the Creamy Chicken Sauce

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup and chicken broth until smooth and well combined. Slowly pour the mixture over the pasta and chicken. Use a spoon to gently push the pasta down, making sure most of it is submerged in the liquid for even cooking.

Step 4: Add the Biscuit Topping

Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into small bite-sized pieces, approximately ½ to ¾ inch each. Arrange the pieces evenly over the top of the casserole in a single layer.

Step 5: Bake Covered

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil, making sure the foil doesn’t press against the biscuit pieces. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.

Step 6: Finish Baking Until Golden

Remove the foil carefully and return the dish to the oven. Bake uncovered for an additional 20–25 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is puffed and golden brown, the pasta is tender, and the creamy sauce is bubbling around the edges.

Step 7: Rest and Serve

Take the casserole out of the oven and let it stand for about 10 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the sauce to thicken and makes the dish easier to portion. Spoon into bowls and serve warm.

Enjoy this creamy, hearty chicken pasta with its soft, golden biscuit topping for an easy homemade meal the whole family will love!
