Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 3 cups (720 ml) cooked chicken, shredded
Vegetables:
- 1 bag (3 cups or 450 grams) frozen mixed vegetables
Dairy and Cheese:
- 2 cups (480 grams) shredded cheese
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) melted butter
Soup and Biscuits:
- 2 cans cream of chicken soup
- 2 cans Pillsbury biscuits (5 count each)
Additional:
- Grease for pan
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C), preparing a standard baking dish with a light coating of cooking spray.
- Craft the filling by combining shredded cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, frozen mixed vegetables, and shredded cheese in a large mixing bowl, stirring until ingredients are thoroughly blended.
- Transfer the mixed filling into the prepared baking dish, ensuring an even distribution across the pan’s surface.
- Slice each Pillsbury biscuit into four equal quarters, then gently toss the pieces in melted butter, guaranteeing a complete and uniform coating.
- Carefully layer the butter-drenched biscuit pieces across the top of the chicken mixture, creating a rustic and textured surface.
- Position the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, monitoring until the biscuit topping turns golden brown and the underlying mixture begins to bubble and simmer.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow the casserole to rest for 3-5 minutes, enabling the filling to set and cool slightly before serving this comforting and straightforward meal.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker, more flavorful base that saves preparation time and adds extra depth to the dish.
- Customize vegetable mix by adding fresh or seasonal vegetables like diced bell peppers, carrots, or peas for more nutrition and color.
- Experiment with cheese varieties such as sharp cheddar, monterey jack, or gruyere to create different flavor profiles and make the casserole more interesting.
- Create a gluten-free version by using gluten-free biscuits and checking that cream of chicken soup is gluten-free, making the recipe accessible for those with dietary restrictions.
