Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn blend)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 pieces canned biscuits (refrigerated biscuit dough)
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Stir in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until it forms a paste (roux) and bubbles slightly, but do not let it brown.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 5

Add garlic powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Stir well and let it simmer for 4-5 minutes until the sauce is thickened.

Step 6

Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen mixed vegetables until evenly coated in the sauce. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture into a 9x13-inch casserole dish and spread it evenly.

Step 8

Open the can of biscuits and arrange them on top of the chicken and vegetable mixture, leaving a small gap between each biscuit.

Step 9

Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
