Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Cheddar Bay Biscuits
- 2 cups Cheddar Bay biscuit mix (premade or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2/3 cup milk or buttermilk
Optional Garnishes
- Freshly chopped parsley or chives
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken and mixed vegetables. In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together chicken broth, heavy cream, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, tossing gently to coat everything evenly.
- Make the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Dough: In a separate bowl, mix the biscuit baking mix with shredded cheddar cheese, melted butter, garlic powder, and milk according to package instructions or your homemade recipe. Stir until the dough is slightly sticky but manageable.
- Assemble the Bake: Spoon the chicken and vegetable filling into a greased baking dish and smooth the surface. Drop dollops of biscuit dough over the top, spreading gently to cover as much of the filling as possible while leaving some gaps for steam to escape.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the assembled dish for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Let the bake cool for 5-10 minutes to allow the filling to set slightly, making it easier to serve and enjoy safely without burning.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenient, flavorful protein.
- Don’t overmix the biscuit dough to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
- For extra cheesy crust, sprinkle additional shredded cheddar cheese on top before baking.
- Check biscuits at 20 minutes to avoid over-browning; bake times may vary by oven.
- Resting the casserole before serving reduces runniness and improves slicing.
