Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken (ideal from a rotisserie chicken)
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (like carrots, peas, corn, and green beans)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 package ready-made biscuit dough
  • Extra cheddar cheese for topping


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Cook the Base: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent. Toss in the shredded chicken and frozen vegetables, cooking until the veggies are warmed through.
  3. Season: Sprinkle the mixture with thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir in the flour to coat the ingredients evenly.
  4. Thicken: Gradually add the chicken broth, stirring continuously until the mixture begins to simmer and thicken. Then, mix in the heavy cream and remove from heat. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined.
  5. Assemble: Pour the filling into the prepared baking dish. Flatten the biscuit dough and arrange over the filling. Sprinkle with additional cheddar cheese.
  6. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden and the filling bubbles.

Notes

  • Biscuit Topping Tip: For an extra golden crust, brush the biscuit dough with melted butter before baking.
  • Make Ahead: The filling can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator overnight. Simply assemble with the biscuit dough and bake the next day.
