Ingredient Notes

Chicken – To make this as easy as possible, I suggest using a rotisserie chicken from your grocery store. If you’d like to cook the chicken from scratch, simply bake two chicken breasts in the oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes until cooked through, then cut remove the skin and bones and cut them into cubes.
Mixed vegetables – Any combination of vegetables works fine. I typically use mixed frozen vegetables that have been thawed and well drained.
Biscuits – This recipe uses refrigerated biscuits for the topping. In my experience, Pillsbury’s Grands “flaky layers” biscuits work best because they’re easy to pull apart. If you like, you can use frozen puff pastry or a homemade or purchased pie crust in place of the biscuits.
Cheese – I prefer sharp Cheddar. Use whatever you like.
Cream of chicken soup – Almost any “cream of” soup works great in this recipe. I’ve used both cream of mushroom soup and cream of celery soup with good results.
