Ingredients:
- 3 cups (450g) shredded rotisserie chicken
- 2 cups (300g) frozen mixed peas and carrots, thawed
- 1 can (10.5 oz / 298g) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
- 1 tsp (5g) garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) black pepper
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk
- 2 tbsp (30g) melted butter
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In the casserole dish, combine the shredded chicken and thawed vegetables.
- Stir in the condensed soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is uniform and velvety.
- Smooth the filling with a spatula to ensure an even layer across the bottom.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the chilled cubed butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the milk and stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to ensure the crust remains light and airy.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the chicken mixture, leaving small gaps between the mounds to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the tops of the batter with melted butter for a mahogany-colored finish.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
