Ingredients
To create this delightful dish, you’ll need a mix of fresh ingredients and pantry staples. Here’s what you’ll gather:
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great!)
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 package Red Lobster biscuit mix
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup melted butter (for biscuit topping)
If you’re missing an ingredient, don’t worry. You can substitute fresh vegetables for the frozen mix or use turkey instead of chicken for a post-holiday twist.
Instructions
Now, let’s bring this dish to life with these simple steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by lightly greasing it.
- In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the flour, cooking for another minute until it forms a paste.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
- Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add the shredded chicken and frozen vegetables, mixing well until everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
- Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the biscuit mix according to the package instructions, then fold in the cheddar cheese.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the chicken mixture, covering it as much as possible.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Brush the melted butter over the hot biscuits before serving for an extra buttery finish.
