Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Biscuit Topping
- 1 (16-ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent the casserole from sticking.
- Sauté aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds to release its flavor.
- Combine ingredients: Add the frozen mixed vegetables, shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir the mixture thoroughly until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Assemble casserole: Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top to add a rich, cheesy layer.
- Add biscuits: Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into halves or quarters. Arrange the biscuit pieces evenly over the casserole’s surface, covering it completely.
- Brush biscuits: Brush the tops of the biscuit pieces with melted butter to encourage golden browning and add flavor.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving to let it set and ensure safe handling.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken to save on prep time and add extra flavor.
- Leftover turkey can be substituted for chicken in this recipe.
- Add a pinch of paprika on top before baking for added color and a mild smoky flavor.
