Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
8 oz wide egg noodles
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
3. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
4. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and then the milk. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens, about 4-5 minutes.
5. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika.
6. Add shredded chicken, thawed vegetables, and cooked noodles. Stir to combine evenly.
7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
8. Top with biscuits, spacing them slightly apart.
9. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until biscuits are golden and cooked through.
10. Let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken to save time and add flavor depth.
Ensure the sauce is thick enough before baking to prevent a watery casserole.
Don’t overcrowd the biscuits to allow even rising and golden tops.
