I use 98% fat free cream of chicken soup and light sour cream and it's still really good. I prefer to bake the biscuits separately and spoon the creamed chicken mix over the biscuits before serving.

I really liked this recipe. It was easy to prepare and a very rich tasty meal. I used some rotisserie chicken, added a jar of mushrooms and I prebaked the biscuits so that they wouldn't be too mushy on the bottom because hubby would have hated that! I will make this again.

Hi Amy, welcome to the site. It looks like I'm your first reviewer. This is another 5 star recipe for my family! Very easy to make and taste so good. I chopped the onions the night before and put in a baggie with the butter. I also chopped the chicken and pimientos and put them into my mixing bowl too. So prep time is like 10 minutes. I used frozen biscuit dough and thawed them out before add them on top. They needed a little more baking time then called for. So I wonder if Amy meant pre baked biscuits, I'm sure they make those. I just don't buy biscuits so never thought about it when I picked up the frozen dough ones. One of my daughters said this could be used as a filling to make Chicken Enchiladas. Add a can of Rotel tomatoes and green chilies both drained and she'd be right. Thank you for a great recipe. I'll be making this again.
