Chicken and Biscuits Casserole

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or a little butter.

2. Make the Chicken Mixture:

In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, chicken broth, chopped onion, peas and carrots, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until it’s well mixed. The sauce should be creamy but thick; you can add a little more chicken broth if you prefer a thinner consistency.

3. Assemble the Casserole:

Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it evenly.

4. Add the Biscuit Topping:

Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. Arrange the biscuit pieces on top of the chicken mixture, ensuring the top is covered. You can overlap the biscuits a bit, as they will expand as they bake.

5. Bake the Casserole:

Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly. If you like, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the biscuits during the last 5 minutes of baking for a cheesy, melty finish.

6. Serve:

Once the casserole is baked to perfection, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley for an extra pop of color and flavor, if desired.

Tips for Perfect Chicken and Biscuits Casserole:

• Use Rotisserie Chicken: To save time and add extra flavor, you can use store-bought rotisserie chicken. Simply shred the meat and add it to the casserole mixture.
• Customize with Vegetables: Feel free to use other vegetables like green beans, corn, or mushrooms to suit your tastes. You can also swap out frozen peas and carrots for a fresh medley.
• Biscuit Variations: For a different flavor twist, try using flavored biscuit dough (like cheddar or garlic biscuits) for extra zing.
• Make It Ahead: This casserole can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge before baking. Just cover it tightly and bake it when you’re ready to enjoy it, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time if it’s cold from the fridge.
