- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works well)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup frozen corn
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1 (10 ounce) package refrigerated biscuit dough
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Stir in the flour, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Stir in the cream of chicken soup, shredded chicken, peas, and corn. Cook until heated through. If using cheese, stir it in now until melted.
- Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Arrange the refrigerated biscuit dough pieces evenly over the top of the filling.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute crescent roll dough for the biscuits if you prefer a different topping texture.
- For extra flavor, add 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley to the filling mixture.
- This casserole freezes well before baking; cover tightly and freeze for up to three months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
