Ingredients
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup milk or heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
Biscuit Topping
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough, quartered
Other
- Cooking spray or butter for greasing dish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Sauté Onion: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds to release its aroma.
- Make Roux: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onion and garlic mixture. Stir well and cook for 1 minute to eliminate raw flour taste.
- Add Liquids and Thicken Sauce: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk (or heavy cream), stirring constantly until the sauce becomes smooth and thickened.
- Season and Combine: Add salt, black pepper, dried thyme, cooked chicken, and frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
- Add Biscuit Topping: Evenly arrange the quartered biscuit dough pieces over the top of the chicken mixture to cover it.
- Bake: Place the baking dish uncovered in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed, golden brown, and cooked through.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to set slightly and cool to an ideal temperature.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds flavor.
- Cut biscuits evenly to ensure they bake uniformly.
- If biscuits start browning too quickly, loosely cover the dish with foil to prevent burning.
