Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

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

Biscuit Topping

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

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the casserole evenly.
Cook Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bite-sized chicken pieces until browned and fully cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare Chicken Mixture: 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 thoroughly until well combined to form a creamy filling.
Assemble Chicken Layer: Grease a 3-quart casserole dish and pour the chicken mixture evenly into it, spreading out to create an even layer.
Make Biscuit Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and melted butter. Gradually add the buttermilk, stirring gently until just combined to form a biscuit batter.
Add Biscuit Layer: Spoon the biscuit batter evenly over the chicken mixture in the casserole dish, spreading it carefully to cover the surface.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the biscuit layer for a cheesy, golden crust.
Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes or until the biscuit topping turns golden brown and is cooked through.
Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. This helps the casserole set and makes serving easier.

Notes

Make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly before mixing to ensure food safety.
You can substitute frozen mixed vegetables with fresh or other veggies of your choice.
For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of low-fat milk.
Feel free to add herbs like thyme or parsley to the chicken mixture for extra depth.
If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the mix.
