  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
For the biscuit topping
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (Cold and cubed.)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder (For a Red Lobster touch.)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  3. Transfer the filling to your casserole or pie dish, spreading it evenly.
Biscuit Topping
  1. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt for the biscuit topping. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder. Gradually add the milk, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the chicken filling, making sure to cover it evenly.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  5. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve hot from the oven with a simple green salad or steamed broccoli. A drizzle of hot sauce or a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley adds color and brightness. Use rotisserie chicken to save time and boost flavor. Keep the butter cold for flakier biscuits. If the topping browns too fast, tent with foil while baking.
