This a favorite in our household, tasty, cheap, uses leftovers, easy to make and quick.  The reason that I put some of the biscuits on top and some on a tray is for two reasons.  First in my casserole dish they won’t all fit.  Second my daughter prefers them on the side buttered.  I have also made it without the poultry seasoning and extra salt and pepper.  I like it either way but my wife prefers it with the poultry seasoning.  In this case the leftover chicken was BBQ Chicken thighs and it made enough to have leftovers of the Chicken Pot Pie as well.
