Preheat the oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Slowly add the milk and continue stirring until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce, about 3-4 minutes.
Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Adjust to taste if needed.
Add the cooked shredded chicken and frozen mixed vegetables to the sauce. Stir well to combine and allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Open the canned biscuits and place them on top of the chicken mixture, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
