Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your casserole cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, milk, and frozen mixed vegetables. Stir until all the ingredients are well mixed and the chicken is evenly coated with the soup and milk.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. It's important to taste the mixture to ensure it has the right flavor balance.
- Pour the chicken mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly across the bottom of the dish.
- Open the package of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. You can either leave them whole or cut them in half, depending on your preference for biscuit size.
- Arrange the biscuits on top of the chicken mixture in the baking dish. Make sure to leave some space between each biscuit, as they will expand while baking.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set slightly.
- Serve the creamy chicken and biscuits casserole warm, and enjoy this comforting dish with your family and friends!
Tips
- Use rotisserie chicken for an even faster and more flavorful meal prep
- For extra richness, substitute half the milk with heavy cream
- Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top of the biscuits for a golden, crispy finish
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix in a tablespoon of cornstarch with the milk
- For a healthier version, use low-fat cream of chicken soup and add extra vegetables
- Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to allow the sauce to set
- Experiment with different herbs like thyme or rosemary for added depth of flavor
