Ingredients:
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, etc.)
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
1 pack refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
2 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing biscuits)
Salt to taste
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Casserole Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, thyme, and mixed vegetables.
Stir until everything is well combined.
Assemble the Casserole: Pour the chicken mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Add the Biscuits:
Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Arrange them on top of the casserole, placing them closely together, but not overlapping.
Bake the Casserole:
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Brush with Butter:
In the last 5 minutes of baking, brush the biscuits with the melted butter for extra flavor and shine.
Serve:
Once the biscuits are golden brown, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips:
Chicken:
You can use leftover rotisserie chicken or any cooked chicken you have on hand to save time.
Vegetables:
Feel free to customize the vegetables in the casserole—corn, green beans, or even diced potatoes would work well.
Biscuits:
If you prefer homemade biscuits, you can substitute store-bought dough with your favorite biscuit recipe.
Make Ahead:
You can assemble the casserole ahead of time, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it until you’re ready to bake. Just add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time if baking from the fridge.
Add Cheese:
For an extra layer of flavor, sprinkle shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) over the chicken mixture before topping with biscuits.
Corrections:
Ensure that you don’t overcrowd the biscuits on top of the casserole, as this could prevent them from baking evenly. Keep a little space between them to allow for proper rising.
If your biscuits are too doughy in the middle after baking, you may need to bake for a few extra minutes, but be sure to cover the casserole with foil if the biscuits are browning too quickly while the center finishes baking.
This hearty chicken and biscuit casserole is the ultimate in comfort food, offering a creamy, flavorful filling with a delightful biscuit topping.
