We love a good chicken casserole. In all its many forms, this dish brings easy, comforting home cooking to any meal plan. On weeknights it’s the one-pan meal that comes to the table with a little something for everyone. For a low-key Sunday night dinner you can have classic chicken and biscuits cooked all in one dish.

Here are 15 of our favorite ways to bring the comfort of a chicken casserole to the dinner table. Reach for them when you’re craving something fast like a weeknight-friendly chicken empanada pie, or something classic like chicken and wild rice. No matter what, there’s something here to bring to your family table.
