Preparation and Baking
This recipe takes a comforting classic and adds a delicious biscuit topping for a fun twist on a traditional dish.
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 1 hour
Servings: 6-8
Ingredients
- 5 bone-in chicken thighs (or use 3 chicken breasts or a combination of white and dark meat)
- 16 oz. can flaky buttered biscuits
- 6 oz. frozen peas and carrots, thawed
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 1/2 cups chicken broth (use the water from cooking the chicken)
- 2 (10.5 oz.) cans cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 can milk (using the empty soup can to measure)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon house seasoning (equal parts garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper)
Directions
- Cook the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove the chicken to a plate and let it cool. Debone and shred the chicken, then set aside.
- Prepare the Casserole: Lightly spray a 9×13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray. Cut each biscuit into quarters and arrange the pieces in the bottom of the dish.
- Layer the Ingredients: Place the shredded chicken over the biscuit pieces, followed by the peas and carrots. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, milk, melted butter, and house seasoning until well combined.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the sauce mixture over the cheese and biscuits in the casserole dish. Place the dish, uncovered, in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 1 hour, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
- Rest and Serve: Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
