Ingredients
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
1/3 cup unsalted butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups biscuit dough (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a skillet, melt butter and sauté frozen vegetables for 5–6 minutes until tender.
3. Sprinkle flour over veggies and stir for 1 minute to cook out raw taste.
4. Gradually whisk in chicken broth until smooth. Add cream, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
5. Simmer sauce for 5–7 minutes until thick and creamy.
6. Stir in the shredded chicken and remove from heat.
7. Pour filling into the baking dish.
8. Top with biscuit dough in even spoonfuls or pieces.
9. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until biscuits are golden and filling is bubbling.
10. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken to save time and boost flavor.
Frozen vegetables save chopping time and hold texture well.
Reheat leftovers in the oven to keep the biscuit topping crisp.
