Creamed Chicken and Biscuits Casserole
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ tsp butter
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 pounds of cooked chicken, cut or shredded
- 1 can of cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup of milk
- ½ cup roasted red pepper, chopped
- 1 ½ cup cheddar cheese, mild
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prep:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter and set aside.
- Saute Onion:
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Combine Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, milk, roasted red pepper, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well to combine.
- Assemble Casserole:
- Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Add Biscuit Topping:
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and place the biscuits on top of the chicken mixture in the baking dish. Arrange them in a single layer or slightly overlapping, as desired.
- Bake:
- Transfer the casserole to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top. Return the casserole to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired.
- Serve Warm:
- Allow the Creamed Chicken and Biscuits Casserole to cool slightly before serving. Spoon generous portions onto plates and enjoy the comforting flavors of this delicious dish.
Cook Notes and Variations:
- Vegetable Additions: Mix in your favorite vegetables such as peas, carrots, or broccoli to add color and nutrients to the casserole.
- Herb Infusion: Incorporate fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley into the chicken mixture for added flavor and aroma.
- Spice it Up: For a hint of heat, add a dash of hot sauce or sprinkle red pepper flakes over the casserole before baking.
Keto and Low-Carb Versions:
- Keto-Friendly Option: Replace the refrigerated biscuit dough with a homemade almond flour biscuit topping. Use full-fat mayonnaise and cream cheese instead of low-fat options to keep the dish keto-friendly.
- Low-Carb Alternative: Skip the biscuit topping altogether and serve the creamy chicken mixture over cauliflower rice or mashed cauliflower for a low-carb alternative that’s just as satisfying.
