    I’m not one to jump on the health food wagon come January. This might be obvious given the name of my blog. But when I discover rich, flavorful comfort food that’s actually pretty healthy, I’m ALL for it!

    I’m calling this recipe healthy for 3 reasons:

    Lean protein... check!

    Tons of veggies... check!

    Rich, creamy texture without any actual cream... check!

    This chicken pot pie casserole is basically healthy-ish food masquerading as comfort food. The thick, creamy texture comes from chicken broth thickened with some flour, and the filling is packed with veggies and chicken. The casserole is rich and flavorful, you'll want to eat this meal all winter long!

    Bonus: This recipe uses simple ingredients, and you probably already have most of them on hand!

    Instructions

    Make the Buttermilk Biscuit Dough

    • Prepare the buttermilk biscuit dough according to the recipe.
    • On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough gently a few times. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to ¼-inch thickness.
    • Dip the edges of a 2 inch circle cutter in flour, then use it to cut the 24 circles from the dough. Set the circles of dough aside.

    Make the Casserole

    • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and set aside.
    • Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add onion, celery, and garlic and sauté until tender.
    • Add flour, sugar, salt, pepper, basil, and chicken broth.
    • Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, then reduce heat to medium low.
    • Add frozen vegetables and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
    • Add chicken.
    • Pour the mixture into prepared pan. Top with the biscuit dough circles. Bake for 45 minutes or until the biscuits are golden.
