Creamed chicken and biscuits casserole is a comforting and delicious dish. Here’s a simple recipe to make it:
Ingredients:
For the Creamed Chicken:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup frozen peas (optional)
- 1 cup frozen corn (optional)
For the Biscuit Topping:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup milk
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the cooked chicken, frozen peas, and frozen corn (if using). Stir until everything is well combined. Remove from heat.
- Pour the creamed chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- To make the biscuit topping, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the milk, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the top of the creamed chicken mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the creamed chicken and biscuits casserole hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
