Chicken and Biscuit Casserole

I had a can of biscuits about to expire in the fridge today and really needed to use them up.  Alyssa requested chicken and biscuits, so I set out to find a recipe.  The one I came across called for green chiles, which I found to be a little weird, so I replaced them with peas, carrots, and corn... more of a pot pie filling.

Ultimately, this ended up being a pot pie casserole with biscuits on top instead of pie crust... it was still delicious though!

*You can use chicken breasts instead of thighs, though the dark meat adds juiciness
