Key Ingredients for Loaded Chicken and Biscuit Bake

Here’s what you’ll need to create this scrumptious dish:

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (you can use rotisserie chicken too!)
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (ensure it’s halal-certified)
• 1 cup chicken broth (check labels for halal certification)
• 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn—whatever you prefer!)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 can refrigerated biscuits (look for halal options)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (like cheddar or mozzarella, halal-certified)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, mixed vegetables, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
3. Pour the chicken mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly at the bottom.
4. Pop open the can of biscuits and cut each biscuit in half. This gives you more biscuit surface area to soak up the flavors.
5. Place the biscuit halves over the chicken mixture in an even layer. It’s fine if they overlap a bit—this just adds to the rustic charm!
6. Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the biscuits, because who doesn’t love extra cheese?!
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, and the chicken mixture is bubbling.
8. Serve hot and enjoy! This is best enjoyed fresh but holds its flavor well for leftovers.

Top Tips for Perfecting Loaded Chicken and Biscuit Bake

• Substitutions: Feel free to swap the chicken for turkey or even a plant-based alternative if you prefer a vegetarian version. Ensure any substitutes you choose are halal-compliant.
