Ingredients
Scale
Primary Protein:
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
Supporting Dairy and Liquid:
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
Base and Seasoning Components:
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup biscuit mix
- ½ cup frozen peas
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups shredded chicken, 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup, 2 cups chicken broth, ½ cup frozen peas, ½ teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Stir until ingredients are thoroughly blended.
- Grab another bowl and whisk 1 cup biscuit mix, 1 cup milk, and 1 tablespoon melted butter until smooth. Fold in ½ teaspoon dried thyme, ½ teaspoon paprika, and ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- Transfer the chicken mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Pour the biscuit batter over the top, ensuring complete coverage without mixing the layers.
- Slide the casserole into the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. Your goal is a golden-brown biscuit topping that’s completely set.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. This helps the dish set and makes serving easier.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick, flavorful shortcut that saves time and adds extra taste to your casserole.
- Ensure your biscuit batter is slightly lumpy when mixing, which helps create a more tender and flaky topping.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular biscuit mix with a gluten-free alternative and use cornstarch instead of flour to thicken the sauce.
- Add some shredded cheddar or parmesan to the biscuit topping for an extra layer of cheesy goodness that makes the dish even more comforting.
