chicken and biscuit casserole

A Chicken and Biscuit Casserole is a hearty and comforting dish that’s perfect for a family dinner or a cozy meal. Here’s a simple recipe to make it:

Ingredients:

• 3 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup frozen peas (optional)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)
• 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury Grands)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

2. Prepare the casserole filling:

   • In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, milk, peas (if using), salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until well mixed.

3. Assemble the casserole:

   • Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

4. Top with biscuit dough:

   • Open the package of biscuit dough and cut the biscuits into halves or quarters, depending on your preference for biscuit sizes.
   • Arrange the biscuit pieces on top of the casserole, covering it evenly.

5. Bake:

   • Place the casserole in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. If the biscuits are browning too quickly, you can cover the casserole loosely with foil and continue baking until the biscuits are fully cooked.

6. Optional:

   • If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole in the last 5 minutes of baking for a cheesy finish.

7. Serve:

   • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your comforting, hearty meal!

This dish is a great make-ahead option, and you can even freeze it before baking for a quick meal later.
