The cheese layer looks bubbly and textured with a slightly rough and uneven finish, covering the dish fully and rising slightly above the rim.

Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
1 cup milk
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
0.5 tsp black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
0.75 cup shredded cheddar cheese
0.5 cup buttermilk

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken pieces until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Set aside.
Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Step 4: Pour the chicken mixture into a greased 3-quart casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
Step 5: In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and melted butter. Gradually stir in the buttermilk until just combined.
Step 6: Spoon the biscuit mixture evenly over the chicken mixture in the casserole dish.
Step 7: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the biscuit layer.
Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh vegetables instead of frozen for a fresher taste and crunch.
Substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor.
Add herbs like thyme or rosemary to the chicken mixture for extra aroma.
For a gluten-free option, try using a gluten-free flour blend in the biscuit topping.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave until warmed through or heat the entire casserole in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 15 minutes. Avoid freezing as the biscuit topping may change texture upon thawing.

How to Serve

The cauliflower pieces are irregular in shape and tightly packed, coated with a creamy sauce that has bubbled and browned in the oven. The sides of the dish are visible, and the casserole fills the dish to the edge. The background surface is a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different type of meat instead of chicken?

Yes, you can substitute chicken with turkey or cooked ground beef, adjusting cooking times as needed.

Is it possible to make this casserole ahead of time?

Absolutely. Prepare the casserole up to baking, cover it, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Increase the baking time slightly if baking straight from the fridge.
