Method
Preparation
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.
Biscuit Preparation
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. Be careful not to overmix.
Assembly and Baking
Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the chicken filling, ensuring an even coverage.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Ingredient Substitutions: You can use leftover turkey in place of chicken, or swap out mixed vegetables for your family’s favorites like green beans or broccoli. Optional Variations: For added flavor, consider incorporating fresh herbs such as thyme or rosemary into the filling. You can also make it a bit spicier by adding diced jalapeños. Storage or Reheating Tips: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through for the best texture.
