Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 3 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
- 1/2 cup frozen corn (optional)
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 2/3 cup milk
Topping
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury Grands)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even baking and that the biscuits rise perfectly when added on top of the casserole.
- Make the Roux: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Sprinkle in the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir constantly until the mixture forms a smooth paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbly and slightly golden.
- Add Liquid: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil, about 3-5 minutes, achieving a gravy-like consistency.
- Combine Ingredients: Stir in the cooked chicken, frozen peas and carrots, and optional corn. Mix thoroughly to combine, then remove the skillet from heat.
- Prepare for Baking: Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly for uniform cooking.
- Top with Biscuits: Separate the biscuit dough into individual biscuits, flatten each slightly with your hands, and arrange them spaced out on top of the chicken mixture to allow room for expansion during baking.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked, filling your kitchen with a delicious aroma.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor.
- Feel free to include frozen corn for added sweetness and texture.
- Make sure to leave space between biscuits so they can rise properly while baking.
- You can substitute milk with a dairy-free alternative if desired.
- For a lower fat version, use low-fat milk and reduce butter slightly.
