Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, frozen vegetables, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well mixed.
Transfer the chicken mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters and scatter the pieces evenly over the chicken mixture. You want to cover most of the casserole with biscuit pieces, but it doesn’t need to be perfectly covered.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top in the last 5 minutes of baking, and return the dish to the oven until the cheese has melted and the biscuits are crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Tips for Serving and Storing:
Serve this casserole hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
It pairs wonderfully with a simple side salad or garlic bread for an extra touch.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, place individual servings in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or reheat the entire casserole in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, covering it with foil to prevent the biscuits from getting too hard.
Variants:
Vegetarian Option: Replace the chicken with tofu or additional vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or bell peppers for a meat-free version.
Spicy Chicken: Add a teaspoon of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture for a spicy kick.
Cheese Lovers: Add a mix of mozzarella, provolone, and cheddar cheeses for a creamy, cheesy casserole that’s rich in flavor.
FAQ:
Q: Can I use leftover chicken for this casserole? A: Absolutely! Leftover rotisserie chicken or any cooked chicken works perfectly in this dish. It’s a great way to repurpose your leftovers.
Q: What if I don’t have cream of chicken soup? A: If you don’t have cream of chicken soup, you can substitute it with any cream-based soup (like cream of mushroom or cream of celery), or you can make a homemade creamy sauce using butter, flour, and chicken broth.
Q: Can I freeze this casserole? A: Yes, you can freeze the casserole before baking. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap and foil, and freeze for up to 2-3 months. To bake, remove from the freezer and bake at 375°F for about 45-50 minutes or until fully heated through and golden brown.
Q: Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of store-bought? A: Yes, homemade biscuit dough works just as well. Roll out your biscuit dough, cut it into small pieces, and follow the recipe as directed.
