Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
- 1/2 cup frozen corn (optional)
Sauce Ingredients
- 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: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even baking and perfectly risen biscuits.
- Make the Roux: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Sprinkle in flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir constantly until it forms a smooth paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbly and slightly golden.
- Add Liquid: Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Stir continuously to prevent lumps as the mixture thickens over 3-5 minutes until it reaches a gentle boil and a gravy-like consistency.
- Combine Ingredients: Stir in the cooked chicken, frozen peas and carrots, and corn if using. Mix well, then remove the skillet from heat.
- Prepare for Baking: Transfer the chicken mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Top with Biscuits: Separate the biscuit dough into individual biscuits, flatten slightly, and arrange on top of the chicken mixture, leaving space between each to allow for expansion while baking.
- Bake the Casserole: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set before serving. Enjoy your delicious homemade comfort meal!
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken speeds up prep time and adds extra flavor.
- You can substitute frozen mixed vegetables with fresh if preferred, but adjust cooking times accordingly.
- For a richer sauce, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- Make sure biscuits are spaced well to allow rising without merging.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat nicely in the oven.
