🥘Ingredients

For the Filling

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

For the Biscuit Topping

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
3/4 cup milk

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, frozen vegetables, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
3Pour the chicken mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish and spread it evenly. If using, sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top.
4In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
5Add the milk to the flour mixture and stir just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
6Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the chicken filling. You dont need to cover it completely; the biscuits will spread as they bake.
7Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Yes, absolutely. Using a rotisserie chicken is a great time saver. Just shred the meat from the breast and thighs and you are ready to go.

2. Can I make this chicken and biscuit bake ahead of time?

You can assemble the filling and prepare the biscuit dough separately. Store the filling in the fridge and the dough covered. When you are ready to bake, just drop the dough on top and bake as directed. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
