Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, and green beans blend)

1 cup cream of chicken soup (store-bought or homemade for a personal touch)

1 cup chicken broth (low-sodium recommended)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 cups biscuit mix (e.g., Bisquick)

1 cup milk (whole or low-fat)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild, based on your preference)

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring that your oven is fully heated before placing the casserole inside.

    Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and black pepper. Mix gently with a spatula or spoon until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

      Assemble the Casserole: Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish. Use a spatula to spread the mixture out evenly across the base of the dish.

        Make the Biscuit Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the biscuit mix and milk. Using a whisk, mix until just combined - be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are perfectly fine and will add to the texture.

          Top the Casserole: Carefully spoon the biscuit batter over the chicken and vegetable filling. Aim to cover the filling as evenly as possible, allowing the biscuit mix to create a fluffy topping.

            Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the biscuit topping. This will melt beautifully during baking and add a delicious layer of flavor.

              Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Look for the biscuit topping to turn a luscious golden brown, and the filling to become bubbly around the edges.

                Cool and Garnish: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5-10 minutes. This resting time will help the flavors meld and make it easier to serve. Optionally, scatter chopped fresh parsley on top for a vibrant finish.

                  Serve Warm: Scoop generous portions onto plates and serve this cozy casserole warm, making it a perfect comfort meal for family gatherings or weeknight dinners.
