Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
- 1 cup cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 package refrigerated biscuits
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, and milk. Stir thoroughly to create a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Add garlic powder and onion powder to the chicken mixture, stirring well to distribute the seasonings evenly throughout the sauce.
- Open the refrigerated biscuit package and separate each biscuit. If the biscuits are large, you may want to gently flatten them slightly with your palm.
- Pour the creamy chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom of the dish.
- Arrange the biscuits on top of the chicken mixture, slightly overlapping if needed to fit all biscuits in the dish.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the chicken mixture is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to set and makes serving easier.
- Serve hot, ensuring each serving gets both a biscuit and the creamy chicken sauce underneath.
Tips
- Use Leftover Chicken: This recipe is perfect for using up leftover rotisserie chicken or any cooked chicken you have on hand, saving you both time and effort.
- Customize the Seasonings: Feel free to add your favorite herbs or spices, such as thyme or paprika, to enhance the flavor of the creamy chicken mixture.
- Biscuit Variations: Experiment with different types of refrigerated biscuits, such as buttermilk or garlic-flavored, to give your dish a unique twist.
- Don’t Skip the Resting Time: Allowing the dish to rest for 5 minutes after baking helps the sauce thicken and makes serving easier, ensuring each plate is perfectly portioned.
- Pair with Sides: Serve this dish alongside a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal that balances the richness of the creamed chicken.
