A comforting and hearty casserole featuring creamy chicken gravy, fluffy biscuits, and a layer of cheesy goodness. Perfect for a family dinner or a cozy night in.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 10 canned biscuits
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
- Make the gravy: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, until golden brown. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until thickened.
- Add chicken and seasonings: Stir in the shredded chicken, salt, pepper, and thyme.
- Assemble the casserole: In a 9×13 inch baking dish, layer half of the biscuits. Pour the chicken gravy over the biscuits. Top with the remaining biscuits and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
- Serve: Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite side dishes.
Tip: For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth instead of store-bought. You can also add other vegetables, such as carrots, peas, or corn, to the casserole for extra nutrients.
