Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need to make this family-favorite dinner:
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (I love using rotisserie chicken to save time!)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn—whatever your kids like!)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (because everything is better with cheese!)
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (or homemade biscuits if you prefer)
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish so nothing sticks.
Step 2: Make the Filling
In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, frozen vegetables, and shredded cheese. Give it a good stir until everything is well combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Casserole
Pour the creamy chicken mixture into your greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Step 4: Add the Biscuits
Take the biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. Arrange the pieces on top of the casserole, covering as much surface area as possible. Then, brush the biscuits with melted butter for a perfectly golden, buttery finish.
Step 5: Bake & Serve
Pop the dish into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving—trust me, the kids will be eager to dig in!
Tips for Success
- Use Rotisserie Chicken – It saves so much time and adds extra flavor.
- Try Homemade Biscuits – If you have a little extra time, homemade biscuits take this dish to the next level.
- Swap the Veggies – If your kids have strong opinions about vegetables, feel free to switch them up. Green beans, corn, or even just plain carrots work great!
- Make It Extra Creamy – Add a splash more milk if you want an even richer texture.
Fun Variations
- Spicy Kick – Add a pinch of cayenne or a dash of hot sauce if your family enjoys a little heat.
- Extra Cheesy – Stir in more cheese or sprinkle some on top before baking.
- Herby Goodness – A sprinkle of fresh parsley or thyme before serving adds a fresh touch.
