Filling Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup or 1 1/2 cups homemade sauce
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or parsley (or fresh if preferred)
Biscuit Topping
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough or homemade biscuit dough (about 8 biscuits worth)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter for brushing
- Prepare the Filling: Sauté diced onion and minced garlic in butter over medium heat until fragrant and softened. Add mixed vegetables and cooked chicken, then stir in chicken broth and cream of chicken soup. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs. Simmer gently until the sauce thickens and flavors meld.
- Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the creamy chicken and vegetable mixture to a greased baking dish. Spread evenly ensuring it’s thick enough to support the biscuit topping without excess liquid.
- Add the Biscuit Topping: Top the filling by placing whole biscuits or spooning dollops of biscuit dough evenly across the surface. Brush the biscuits with melted butter to help them brown and add flavor.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuit topping is puffed, golden, and the filling bubbles around the edges.
- Rest and Serve: Let the casserole sit for a few minutes after baking to set. Serve in generous portions, optionally garnished with fresh parsley or thyme and cracked black pepper.
Notes
- Use cooked, shredded chicken for even distribution and tenderness.
- Adjust broth quantity to avoid overly watery filling, which prevents proper biscuit baking.
- Chill biscuit dough before baking to achieve a flakier, risen topping.
- Taste and adjust salt and herbs before baking for balanced seasoning.
- If biscuits brown too fast, cover loosely with foil to prevent burning.
