Protein
- 2 cups cooked, shredded or diced chicken breast or thighs
Creamy Base
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup milk
Vegetables
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
Topping
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (about 8 biscuits)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
Seasonings
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs like thyme, rosemary, or sage
- Prepare the Chicken: If not already cooked, boil, roast, or pan-sear the chicken until fully cooked. Once cooled slightly, shred or chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Mix the Casserole Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, condensed cream of chicken soup, milk, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and herbs if using. Stir gently until evenly blended and creamy.
- Assemble in the Baking Dish: Grease a casserole dish and pour in the prepared filling. Spread it out evenly to create the base for the biscuit topping.
- Add the Biscuit Topping: Break or slice the biscuit dough into smaller pieces and arrange them evenly over the top of the casserole mixture, covering as much surface as possible.
- Bake Until Golden and Bubbly: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the casserole for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Notes
- Arrange biscuits close together to ensure complete fluffy topping coverage.
- Use homemade roasted chicken for enhanced flavor and juiciness.
- Mix filling ingredients gently to keep vegetable texture intact.
- Watch the biscuits during baking to prevent over-browning or undercooking.
- Sprinkle crushed crackers or breadcrumbs on biscuits before baking for added crunch.
