Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless chicken breasts
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 cup biscuit mix
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by cutting boneless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes, seasoning with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Grease the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Place the cubed chicken pieces evenly across the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Pour the cream of chicken soup directly over the chicken, spreading it evenly to cover all the meat.
- Sprinkle the frozen mixed vegetables over the soup and chicken layer, ensuring even distribution.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine biscuit mix and milk, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
- Carefully pour the biscuit mixture over the vegetable and chicken layers, trying to cover as much surface area as possible without stirring.
- Cover the slow cooker and set to low heat, cooking for 6 hours until chicken is tender and biscuit topping is cooked through.
- After cooking time is complete, carefully remove the lid and let sit for 10 minutes to allow the dish to set.
- Serve hot, scooping portions that include chicken, vegetables, and biscuit topping.
Tips
- Chicken Selection: Use fresh, high-quality boneless chicken breasts for the best texture and flavor.
- Even Layering: Take your time when placing chicken and vegetables to ensure even cooking and consistent taste in every bite.
- Biscuit Batter Technique: When pouring the biscuit mixture, aim for a gentle, even distribution. Don't stir, as this can disrupt the layering.
- Moisture Control: If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the cream of chicken soup before pouring.
- Seasoning Hack: For an extra flavor boost, consider adding dried herbs like thyme or rosemary to your seasoning mix.
- Serving Suggestion: Let the dish rest for 10 minutes after cooking to allow the layers to set and make serving easier.
- Storage Tip: Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
