Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Transfer the filling to your casserole or pie dish, spreading it evenly.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt for the biscuit topping. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder. Gradually add the milk, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the chicken filling, making sure to cover it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: You can use leftover turkey instead of chicken for a post-holiday meal. For a lighter version, swap the cream of chicken soup with a low-fat alternative.
- Optional Variations: Try adding different vegetables such as green beans or mushrooms for a variation in flavor. For a spicy kick, mix in some diced jalapeños.
- Storage or Reheating Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through for best results.
