Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb / 454 g)
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (fresh or frozen)
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
Pantry and Baking Ingredients:
- 1 cup biscuit mix
- 1 can (10.5 oz / 298 g) cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup chicken broth
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Fire up the oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C). Give your 9×13 inch baking dish a generous spritz of cooking spray to prevent any stubborn sticking.
- Dice 3-4 chicken breasts (roughly 1 pound) into bite-sized chunks. Sizzle them in a skillet over medium heat until they turn a beautiful golden brown, about 7-10 minutes.
- Toss 2 minced garlic cloves and 2 cups of mixed vegetables into the skillet. Let everything dance together for 5 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.
- Pour 1 can (10.5 oz) of cream of chicken soup and ½ cup chicken broth into the skillet. Stir gently and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, creating a rich, creamy base.
- Prepare your biscuit mix in a separate bowl, following the package instructions exactly. This will become your golden, fluffy topping.
- Transfer the steaming chicken and vegetable mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Carefully dollop the prepared biscuit mix over the chicken, creating a rustic, bumpy surface that will crisp up beautifully.
- Slide the casserole into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Watch for a gorgeous golden-brown topping and bubbling edges that signal it’s perfectly cooked.
Notes
- Check chicken is fully cooked to 165°F internal temperature to ensure food safety.
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut if time is tight on busy weeknights.
- Fresh vegetables can replace frozen for more vibrant flavor and nutrition.
- Season the chicken mixture with herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra depth.
