Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (optional)
Biscuit Topping
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Chicken Filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, 1 cup cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and frozen vegetables if using. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Layer the Mixture: Spread the combined chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, creating a uniform base layer.
- Add Biscuit Pieces: Cut each biscuit into quarters and arrange them evenly over the chicken mixture, covering the top carefully.
- Cheese and Butter Topping: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the biscuit pieces. Brush the biscuit tops with melted butter, and sprinkle dried parsley on top if desired for a touch of color and flavor.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and the casserole to set.
Notes
- For enhanced flavor, use rotisserie chicken and sharp cheddar cheese.
- You can substitute the cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup or homemade white sauce.
- Optional vegetables can be omitted if preferred or replaced with your favorite mix.
- Make sure biscuits are evenly spaced for uniform cooking and browning.
