Chicken Potpie Casserole image

I always have leftover chicken broth on hand and use it for many things, including this comforting family favorite. You can bake your own biscuits as I do or buy them at the store. I like to bake extra biscuits to eat with butter and jam. -Liliane Jahnke, Cypress, Texas
