Ingredients
For the Casserole Base:
- 4 tablespoons melted butter (plus 2 tablespoons for topping)
- 3 cups cooked, diced chicken breast (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, or a blend of your choice)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken stock (or broth)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
For the Biscuit Topping:
- 1 package Cheddar Bay biscuit mix (reserve seasoning packet)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
For the Finishing Butter:
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Reserved Cheddar Bay biscuit seasoning packet
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Optional:
- Salt, to taste
- Additional vegetables (e.g. corn, green beans)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). - Prepare the Baking Dish:
Pour 4 tablespoons of melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish or a 12-inch oven-safe skillet. Spread evenly to coat the bottom. - Layer the Chicken and Vegetables:
Spread the cooked, diced chicken evenly over the butter. Do not stir.
Sprinkle the frozen vegetables evenly on top of the chicken. Again, do not stir. - Mix the Sauce:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken stock, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
Gently pour this mixture over the vegetables. Do not mix. - Prepare the Biscuit Topping:
In the same bowl, combine the biscuit mix (reserve the seasoning packet), milk, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until just combined.
Carefully pour the batter over the casserole. Do not stir. - Bake:
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 50-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Tip: If the top is browning too quickly, tent loosely with aluminum foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. - Prepare the Finishing Butter:
While the casserole bakes, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter with the reserved seasoning packet and chopped parsley. - Finish and Serve:
Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and immediately brush the seasoned butter mixture over the top.
Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes to allow it to set and thicken before serving.
Add salt to taste, if needed.
Recipe Notes
- Make it your own: Feel free to add extra vegetables like corn, green beans, or diced bell peppers for added color and nutrition.
- Chicken Options: Rotisserie chicken, leftover roast chicken, or poached chicken breasts all work wonderfully.
- Biscuit Mix Substitute: If you can’t find Cheddar Bay biscuit mix, any biscuit mix can be used — just add 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon parsley, and ½ teaspoon onion powder to mimic the flavor.
