Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
Soups and Broth:
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) chicken broth
Cheese and Seasoning:
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Topping and Extras:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) melted butter
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the culinary canvas by heating the oven to a precise 375F (190C), ensuring an optimal cooking environment.
- Craft a flavor-packed liquid foundation by whisking together cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, and a triumvirate of seasonings – garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper – until thoroughly combined.
- Create a protein base by distributing shredded chicken uniformly across the entire surface of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cascade the aromatic soup mixture over the chicken, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Generously blanket the mixture with a layer of shredded cheddar cheese, adding rich, melty complexity.
- Strategically arrange store-bought biscuits atop the cheesy landscape, spacing them with mathematical precision.
- Transform the biscuit surface by painting them with a luxurious sheen of melted butter, promising golden-brown perfection.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven, allowing 25-30 minutes of transformative heat to work its magic – watching for golden biscuit tops and a bubbling, tempting filling.
- Optional: Elevate the visual and flavor profile by sprinkling freshly chopped parsley as a vibrant finishing touch before serving.
Notes
- Swap canned biscuits with homemade or gluten-free options for dietary needs and enhanced flavor.
- Enhance protein by adding extra shredded rotisserie chicken or mixing different chicken types for richer texture.
- Customize seasoning by incorporating fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to elevate the overall taste profile.
- Prevent soggy bottom by draining excess liquid from chicken and using low-sodium broth to control moisture levels.
