Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C).
-
Prepare Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter or margarine. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute.
-
Add Liquid: Gradually add the chicken broth and milk to the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
-
Thicken Sauce: Allow the mixture to boil until it thickens, then stir in the sage, thyme, and black pepper.
-
Add Chicken and Vegetables: Stir in the diced chicken, carrots, sweet peas or green beans, and diced onion until everything is evenly coated in the sauce.
-
Transfer to Casserole Dish: Pour the mixture into a deep 2-quart casserole dish. If you’re not baking immediately, you can cover and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours at this point.
-
Bake: Cover the casserole dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the mixture is very bubbly and hot in the center.
-
Prepare Biscuits: While the casserole is baking, prepare your biscuits according to your favorite recipe or using store-bought ones.
-
Top with Biscuits: Once the casserole is done baking, remove it from the oven and stir the mixture. Arrange as many biscuits as possible on top of the hot chicken and vegetable mixture.
-
Finish Baking: Sprinkle paprika over the casserole and any remaining biscuits. Place any remaining biscuits on a baking sheet to bake separately. Return the casserole and biscuits to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the biscuits are done, remove the casserole from the oven. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of this delicious Chicken and Biscuits dish!
