Chicken and Biscuits Casserole

When the air gets crisp and the leaves start to turn, there’s nothing quite like the comfort of a warm, hearty casserole. This Chicken and Biscuit Casserole is the culinary equivalent of a cozy blanket and a crackling fire. It’s a simple, one-dish meal that combines tender chicken, vegetables, and cheese with fluffy biscuits in a creamy sauce. It’s perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual get-together with friends. Here’s how to make this comforting classic:

Ingredients:

• 2 cans (10.5 ounces each) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 (12 oz) can refrigerated biscuits
• 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
• 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
• Kosher salt, to taste

Preparation:

1. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. Then, take a 9×13-inch baking dish and grease it with nonstick spray to ensure nothing sticks.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, poultry seasoning, and black pepper until you have a smooth mixture.
3. Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and cut each biscuit into 4 pieces. Toss these biscuit pieces into the soup mixture, making sure each piece is coated.
4. To the bowl, add the frozen peas and carrots, shredded chicken, and grated cheddar cheese. Stir everything together so that the ingredients are evenly distributed.
5. Pour the mixture into your greased baking dish, spreading it out to an even layer.
6. Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 35-45 minutes. You’re looking for the biscuits to puff up and turn golden brown, with the sauce bubbling around the edges.
7. Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving. This short wait will allow it to set slightly and will make it easier to serve.
