Tips:
- You can use leftover rotisserie chicken or poached chicken breasts for this recipe.
- For a richer flavor, use homemade cream of chicken soup.
- If you don’t have mixed vegetables, you can use any combination of your favorite chopped vegetables, such as carrots, peas, corn, or green beans.
- Add a tablespoon of dried herbs, like thyme or parsley, to the biscuit dough for extra flavor.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter or milk before baking for a golden brown crust.
- For a fun twist, you can use crescent roll dough instead of biscuits.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
