Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Filling
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great!)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups chicken broth
- ½ cup frozen peas (or mixed vegetables)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Biscuit Topping
- 1 cup biscuit mix (like Bisquick)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tbsp butter (melted)
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Chicken Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, frozen peas, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Make the Biscuit Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the biscuit mix, milk, and melted butter until smooth. Stir in dried thyme, paprika, and shredded cheddar cheese to add flavor and texture.
- Assemble the Casserole: Pour the prepared chicken mixture evenly into the greased baking dish. Gently pour the biscuit batter over the chicken filling, spreading it evenly but avoid stirring to maintain the layers.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool & Serve: Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes after baking to set. Serve warm and enjoy this hearty, comforting dish.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken is an easy shortcut to save time and add flavor.
- You can substitute frozen peas with mixed vegetables for a different veggie mix.
- For a spicier topping, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
- Ensure biscuit topping is fully cooked by checking for a golden brown color and no wet batter in the center.
