Instructions

1

Prepare the filling

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large ovenproof skillet or casserole dish, combine the shredded chicken, thawed mixed vegetables, and cream of chicken soup. Stir until well mixed and heated through over medium heat, about 5 minutes.

Pro tip: For added flavour, season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of thyme.

2

Add the topping and bake

In a small bowl, mix the biscuit mix with milk until smooth. Pour over the chicken mixture, spreading evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and firm to the touch.

Pro tip: For a cheesy twist, add a handful of shredded cheddar to the biscuit mix.
