A combination of the classic chicken pot pie and chicken and dumplings. My family keeps asking me to make this!
This Easy Chicken and Biscuits recipe only takes 5 minutes to make, so it's great for weeknight dinners. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey! Easy Chicken & Biscuits is like a pot pie in a skillet! While the oven is heating up, quickly simmer the chicken and vegetables in condensed cream of potato soup. The soup makes a rich and creamy sauce that ties the filling together. Then, just put refrigerated biscuits on top of the filling right in the skillet (we cut them up so there are pieces of biscuit all over the top) and bake until golden brown.

Notes
This is WELL-OFF! If you want to make it lighter, you can replace all or part of the mayonnaise with sour cream. I used nonfat greek yogurt instead. Also, I did what I was told to do and added a cup of cooked green peas. Green beans could also be added. What a great plan!
