Ingredients
Scale
Biscuit Topping:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter
- 3/4 cup milk
Chicken Filling:
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Seasoning and Extras:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley
- 1/2 tsp old bay seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish with a light coating of cooking spray.
- Dice the onion and mince the garlic, then sauté in olive oil over medium heat until translucent and fragrant.
- Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, seasoning with black pepper and old bay seasoning.
- Add chicken to the skillet and cook until golden and no longer pink in the center, about 6-8 minutes.
- Stir in cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, sour cream, and dried thyme, creating a creamy sauce.
- Fold in frozen mixed vegetables and transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- For the biscuit topping, combine flour, cheddar cheese, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Cut cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually pour in milk and mix until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken filling, covering most of the surface.
- Sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top of the biscuit layer if desired.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before garnishing with fresh chopped parsley.
- Serve hot, scooping out portions that include both the creamy chicken filling and cheesy biscuit topping.
