Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
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.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk, whisking constantly to combine. Continue to cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Add the shredded chicken and frozen mixed vegetables to the cheese sauce, stirring until evenly combined.
Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
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.
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.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
