Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
1 can refrigerated biscuits
Optional melted butter or egg wash
Optional fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until soft, about 3–4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
2. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in chicken broth until smooth, then add milk. Let it simmer until thick and creamy.
3. Add salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley. Stir in shredded chicken and frozen vegetables. Simmer for 4–5 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour the filling into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
5. Place biscuits on top of the filling, spaced slightly apart.
6. Bake for 20–25 minutes until biscuits are golden and cooked through. Cover loosely with foil if browning too quickly.
7. Optional: Brush biscuit tops with melted butter or egg wash and garnish with parsley.
8. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
You can make the filling ahead and refrigerate for up to 1 day before baking.
Swap in leftover turkey or different vegetables to make it your own.
Check that the bottoms of the biscuits are cooked through before serving.
