Ingredients
For the Chicken Filling
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
For the Biscuit Topping
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it aside so it’s ready once the filling is done.
2. Cook the onions and garlic
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and cook for about 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft and fragrant. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, just until it smells amazing.
3. Make the creamy sauce
Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and whisk it well. This will help thicken the sauce. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream while stirring continuously. Let it cook for 3–5 minutes, until the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thick.
4. Add the chicken and cheese
Stir in the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, mozzarella, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Keep stirring gently until the cheese melts into the sauce and everything becomes creamy and well combined.
5. Assemble the casserole
Pour the creamy chicken mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Separate the biscuit dough and place the biscuits on top of the chicken mixture, spacing them evenly across the dish.
6. Add extra cheese
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese right over the biscuits. This adds an extra layer of cheesy goodness as everything bakes.
7. Bake until golden
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, until the biscuits turn beautifully golden brown and the filling underneath is bubbling around the edges.
8. Finish with butter and parsley
When the casserole comes out of the oven, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle with dried parsley. It adds a lovely color and a little extra flavor.
9. Let it rest and serve
Allow the bake to rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps the sauce settle and makes it easier to scoop.
Presentation
Serve this bake straight from the dish while it’s still warm and bubbling. When you scoop it onto plates, make sure each serving gets a fluffy biscuit along with plenty of the creamy chicken filling.
For a fresh finishing touch, sprinkle a little extra parsley over the top or add a light side salad or roasted vegetables on the side. The bright greens balance out the richness of the dish beautifully.
