Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded
Vegetables:
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Baking and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- Salt and pepper
Topping:
- 1 16-ounce (454 grams) can refrigerated biscuits
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375°F, preparing a spacious baking dish with a light coating of cooking spray.
- Sauté diced onions in melted butter over medium heat until they become translucent and soft, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Introduce cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the skillet, whisking to create a smooth, creamy sauce that slightly thickens.
- Fold shredded chicken and frozen vegetables into the sauce, ensuring every ingredient is evenly coated and heated thoroughly.
- Transfer the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it uniformly to create an even layer.
- Carefully layer refrigerated biscuits across the top of the chicken mixture, covering the surface completely.
- Slide the casserole into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for biscuits to turn a rich golden brown and the filling to bubble energetically.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to allow the filling to set, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired before serving.
Notes
- Easily swap frozen vegetables for fresh seasonal varieties to customize the dish and boost nutrition.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium cream of chicken soup and homemade chicken broth for a healthier version.
- Enhance flavor by adding herbs like thyme or rosemary to the chicken mixture for extra depth and complexity.
