Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup biscuit mix
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that your casserole cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and frozen mixed vegetables. Stir until all ingredients are well mixed.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. This will enhance the overall flavor of the casserole.
- Pour the chicken mixture into a greased 1-quart casserole dish, spreading it out evenly across the bottom.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the biscuit topping by combining the biscuit mix and milk. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit mixture over the chicken mixture in the casserole dish. It’s okay if some of the chicken mixture shows through; the biscuits will rise while baking.
- Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
- Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly.
- Serve the Chicken n Dumpling Casserole warm, and enjoy your comforting meal for two!
Tips
- Use rotisserie chicken or leftover roasted chicken for maximum flavor and convenience.
- Don't overmix the biscuit topping - a few lumps are perfectly okay and will help create a tender, flaky texture.
- For extra richness, consider adding a sprinkle of shredded cheese to the chicken mixture before topping with biscuit mix.
- If you like a bit of herbs, try adding some dried thyme or parsley to the chicken mixture for added depth of flavor.
- Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set and make serving easier.
- For a lighter version, use low-sodium cream of chicken soup and add some fresh herbs to boost flavor.
- Ensure your oven is fully preheated to get that perfect golden-brown biscuit topping.
