Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the chopped onion and garlic for about 2–3 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for another 3 minutes.
Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy.
Stir in the shredded chicken, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2–3 more minutes.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9-inch round pie dish or an 8x8 baking dish.
In a medium bowl, mix Bisquick, cheddar cheese, milk, and garlic powder to form a soft dough.
Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough on top of the filling.
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until the biscuits are golden and cooked through.
While baking, mix melted butter with garlic powder and parsley for the topping.
After baking, brush the hot biscuits with the garlic butter topping.
Let rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor.

Swap in leftover turkey for a post-holiday variation.

Add mushrooms or green beans for more texture.

Add cayenne or hot sauce for a spicy version.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in oven for best texture.

Can be frozen after baking; reheat straight from frozen at 375°F for 30–40 minutes.
