Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Vegetables
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (thawed)
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup corn kernels
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Batter
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
Sauce
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Layer Chicken and Vegetables: Spread the cooked shredded chicken evenly across the bottom of the baking dish. Top with the thawed mixed vegetables, peas, and corn. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper evenly over the top for seasoning.
- Make the Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, milk, baking powder, and melted butter until a smooth batter forms.
- Add Batter to Casserole: Gently pour the batter over the layered chicken and vegetables without stirring, allowing the batter to form a topping during baking.
- Prepare and Add Sauce: In another bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth. Slowly pour this mixture over the top of the casserole without mixing to create a creamy layer during baking.
- Bake: Bake the casserole uncovered in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling hot throughout.
- Rest and Serve: Let the casserole sit for 5–10 minutes after baking to set before serving. This improves the texture and makes it easier to serve.
Notes
- The casserole creates distinct layers as it bakes, so there is no need to stir after assembling.
- For convenience, use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your own chicken.
- For a cheesy variation, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
