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:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In the casserole dish, combine the shredded chicken and thawed vegetables.
  3. Stir in the condensed soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is uniform and velvety.
  4. Smooth the filling with a spatula to ensure an even layer across the bottom.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Cut in the chilled cubed butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Pour in the milk and stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to ensure the crust remains light and airy.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the chicken mixture, leaving small gaps between the mounds to allow steam to escape.
  9. Brush the tops of the batter with melted butter for a mahogany-colored finish.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
