Cheesy Chicken and Biscuit Casserole

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

For the Biscuits:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 3/4 cup milk

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
   • Stir in the cooked chicken, thawed peas and carrots, and shredded cheddar cheese until well combined. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
3. Prepare the Biscuits:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
   • Gradually add the milk, stirring until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
   • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Cut the dough into squares or rounds using a biscuit cutter or a knife.
4. Assemble the Casserole:
   • Arrange the biscuit pieces on top of the chicken mixture in the baking dish.
5. Bake the Casserole:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
6. Serve:
   • Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
