2. Coat the Chicken: In a plastic bag, combine flour, salt, paprika, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces to the bag, then shake vigorously until the chicken is evenly coated with the flour mixture.

3. Bake the Chicken: Place the coated chicken pieces skin side down in the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

4. Turn and Bake Again: After 30 minutes, carefully turn the chicken pieces over. Sprinkle them with a bit more salt if desired. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

5. Prepare the Sauce: While the chicken is baking, in a separate bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup and milk. Blend until smooth to create a creamy sauce.

6. Add the Sauce: Once the chicken has baked for a total of 45 minutes, pour the creamy sauce evenly over the chicken pieces in the pan.

7. Arrange Biscuits: Gently push the chicken pieces toward the center of the pan to make room around the edges. Arrange the biscuits around the chicken in a single layer.

8. Bake Again: Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, allowing the biscuits to cook and rise.

9. Add Cheese: After 10 minutes, remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the top of each biscuit.

10. Final Bake: Place the pan back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

11. Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, serve Joyce’s Cheese N Chicken Dinner hot and fresh from the oven. The combination of crispy chicken, creamy sauce, and cheesy biscuits is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table!
