Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and green beans)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly until smooth. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  5. Stir in shredded chicken, frozen vegetables, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and transfer the filling to the greased baking dish.
  6. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Stir in milk and cheddar cheese (if using) until a soft dough forms.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the chicken filling.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Keep the butter cold for fluffy biscuits.’, ‘Don’t overmix the biscuit dough to avoid dense biscuits.’, ‘Rotisserie chicken can save time and add flavor.’, ‘Customize the seasoning to your taste preferences.’, ‘Test the biscuits by gently pressing them; they should feel firm yet soft in the center.’]
