Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 quarter cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Step 3
Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk, whisking constantly to combine. Continue to cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
Step 4
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Step 5
Add the shredded chicken and frozen mixed vegetables to the cheese sauce, stirring until evenly combined.
Step 6
Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 7
Arrange the refrigerated biscuit dough evenly on top of the casserole. If desired, brush the biscuit tops with melted butter or milk for a golden finish.
Step 8
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Step 9
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy!
