chicken pie with cheddar bay biscuit layers
This recipe is a mashup of several internet versions, but most of the credit goes to “jessiesfoodfaithandfamily.com/“ who had the interesting idea of making layers of the flavored biscuit mix instead of simply dropping the prepared biscuit dough on top of the chicken pot pie filling before baking. I changed the seasoning of the original recipe, but I’ll list the other under options, along with variations of veggies your family might prefer. My directions are also different because I like everything ready before I put the casserole together. Enjoy discovering a new family favorite! =^..^=
