Our family that came in town for Christmas just left this morning so we’re over here just cleaning, resting, and trying to get back into our normal routine. The past week was a bit of a marathon cooking session so our upcoming meals are going to be easy, low effort foods! One of those being this Cheesy Chicken & Veggie Bubble Up casserole that I have stashed in the freezer. It’s packed with cheese, veggies, biscuits, and a touch of spice with Old Bay seasoning.

What are Normandy Blend Vegetables?
Normandy blend is a vegetable blend that includes broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots.
Can other vegetables or vegetable blends be substituted in this recipe?
You can substitute the Normandy blend vegetables with your favorite blend. I recommend using hardy, fibrous vegetables so that they stand up to the casserole and don’t become mushy.
How to make Chicken Vegetable Casserole
- Making this recipe is a cinch! You’ll start by preheating your oven and then cutting your biscuits up into 10 pieces each.
- Take your biscuits and shake them around & season them in a food storage bag, making sure they are coated.
- In your baking dish, you’ll combine your remaining ingredients with the biscuits, and bake in the oven to complete.
Mixed Vegetable Casserole Recipe Tips
- You don’t have to cut the biscuits up into 10 pieces each. You can divide them up however you like, I just prefer smaller pieces throughout the dish and find that they cook better that way.
- It’s important to cook and drain off the frozen vegetables because you don’t want them releasing water into the casserole as it bakes.
- I chose to use Trader Joe’s mixed cheese because it had a lower point value. You can use whatever cheese you like!
- You’ll want to use a large (9×13) baking dish so that the ingredients are spread out when they bake and the biscuits are able to cook through.
How to Store Chicken Veggie Casserole
Allow the cooked casserole to cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days or the freezer up to 6 months. To reheat, place it in a microwave safe dish and cover. Microwave for 1 minute at a time until heated through. To reheat the entire casserole, allow the casserole dish to come to room temperature and place in a 350°F for about 15-20 minutes until heated through.
Chicken Mixed Vegetable Casserole with Normandy Vegetables FAQs
Absolutely! It actually freezes very well. If you’d like to make this a freezer meal, I recommend baking it to completion and then freezing.
You can assemble the casserole in advance the same day prior to cooking. If you plan to serve more than 24 hours later, I recommend baking to completion and storing in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to reheat and eat.

Do you mix the biscuit pieces in or arrange on top
I usually spread them throughout the top.
We tried this with some changes because of sodium restrictions. No salt cream of chicken with a little cheese melted in it and tiny bit of milk. Everything else the same. It was a complete hit at our house!
