Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 package refrigerated biscuits
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the middle for even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, and milk. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well-integrated.
- Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the chicken mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste, stirring gently to distribute the vegetables evenly.
- Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
- Open the package of refrigerated biscuits and arrange them on top of the chicken mixture, slightly overlapping to cover most of the surface.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling hot.
- Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the filling to set and cool slightly.
- Serve hot, portioning out the chicken and biscuits onto plates, ensuring each serving gets both the creamy filling and a golden biscuit top.
Tips
- Use rotisserie chicken for an even quicker and more flavorful preparation
- For extra richness, substitute half the milk with heavy cream
- Don't overcrowd the biscuits - leave a little space between them for even browning
- Check the biscuits at the 25-minute mark to prevent over-browning
- For a crispy top, brush the biscuits with melted butter before baking
- Add a sprinkle of dried herbs like thyme or parsley for extra flavor
- Let the dish rest for at least 5 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set
- If you want a spicier version, add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture
