For the Sauce and Filling
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- ½ cup flour
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 ½ cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
For the Biscuit Topping
- 2 tubes biscuit dough (8 biscuits each), total 16 biscuits
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350˚F (180˚C) to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature by the time your casserole is ready.
- Melt the Butter and Cook Onion: In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and stir for about 1 minute until softened and fragrant.
- Make the Roux: Whisk in the flour constantly to prevent browning and cook for about 1 minute; this helps thicken the sauce later.
- Add Liquids and Seasoning: Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, salt, and pepper, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Add Cream and Simmer: Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a light simmer, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Combine Vegetables and Chicken: Add the frozen mixed vegetables and shredded rotisserie chicken to the pot. Stir well until everything is evenly incorporated and heated through.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the creamy chicken and vegetable mixture into a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Add Biscuit Topping: Arrange 12 pieces of biscuit dough evenly on top of the mixture. Note that you will have 4 extra biscuits which can be baked separately and served alongside.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Let the casserole cool slightly for a few minutes before serving to let it set and to avoid burns.
- Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy a delicious, creamy, and comforting chicken and biscuit bake!
Notes
- Extra biscuits can be baked separately per package instructions to serve alongside the casserole or saved for another meal.
- Using a rotisserie chicken saves time and adds extra flavor, but leftover cooked chicken works perfectly as well.
- Feel free to substitute mixed vegetables with fresh seasonal vegetables or your favorites.
- For a thicker gravy, simmer a little longer before adding chicken and vegetables.
- This dish can be made ahead up to the baking step, then refrigerated and baked when ready.
