Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 2 (10.5-ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
- 3 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Biscuit Topping
- 16 canned biscuits
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 13×9-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Make the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, frozen mixed vegetables, minced garlic, ground black pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix everything well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Spread the prepared chicken and vegetable mixture evenly into the greased 13×9-inch baking dish, creating a uniform layer.
- Prepare the Biscuits: Take each canned biscuit and cut it into quarters. Place these biscuit pieces into a bowl, drizzle them with melted butter, and toss gently to coat all pieces thoroughly.
- Partially Bake the Biscuits: Arrange the butter-coated biscuit pieces on a greased baking sheet in a single layer. Bake them in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes or until they turn slightly golden and begin to crisp.
- Assemble and Final Bake: Remove the partially baked biscuit pieces from the baking sheet and evenly distribute them on top of the chicken mixture in the baking dish. Return the assembled dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the biscuit topping is fully cooked and golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Notes
- You can customize the vegetables to your preference; peas, carrots, and corn work great.
- For extra flavor, consider adding chopped onions or herbs like thyme to the chicken mixture.
- Ensure the biscuits are only partially baked before topping, so they finish baking on top of the casserole and remain soft inside.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
