Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 onion (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (like peas, carrots, and corn)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Topping
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the casserole.
- Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 3–4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Stir in frozen mixed vegetables and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until they are just tender.
- Combine Filling Ingredients: Add the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Mix everything thoroughly and let the mixture simmer gently for 2–3 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish, then transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly into it.
- Add Biscuit Topping: Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and place the biscuits spaced evenly on top of the chicken filling. Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter to promote browning and crispness.
- Bake the Casserole: Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Rest and Garnish: Once baked, let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor.
- If the biscuits brown too quickly, cover the casserole loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
- For a richer casserole, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on the filling before adding the biscuit topping.
