Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works well)

  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)

  • ½ cup diced onion

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • ½ cup heavy cream or whole milk

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning

  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the biscuit topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

  • 6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed

  • ¾ cup buttermilk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and garlic; sauté until soft.

  • Stir in flour to form a roux. Slowly whisk in chicken broth, then cream. Simmer until thickened.

  • Add shredded chicken, vegetables, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix and pour into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

  • In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and parsley. Cut in cold butter until crumbly.

  • Stir in buttermilk until just combined. Drop spoonfuls over the chicken mixture.

  • Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbly.

  • Let rest 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked or rotisserie chicken for quicker prep.

  • Add your favorite veggies or spices to customize.

  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

  • Can be frozen before baking—thaw before cooking.
