Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 large onion, or one small onion, chopped small
- pinch of salt
- 1 and 1/2 pounds cooked shredded chicken (about 4 cups)
- 1 can of cream of chicken soup
- 1 and 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 (4-ounce) jar of chopped pimiento peppers
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package of 8 refrigerator biscuits
Instructions
- Set your oven to heat to 350 degrees F and spray the inside of a 9 X 13-inch casserole dish.
- Melt the butter in a skillet set over medium-high heat, then add the onion and sprinkle a pinch of salt over the top. Stir and cook until the edges begin to turn golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- While the onion is cooking, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, and pimiento peppers in a mixing bowl. When the onion is done cooking, add it in and stir it all together. Press the mixture evenly into a prepared casserole dish, and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven. Sprinkle 3/4 cup of cheese over the top of the chicken mixture, then place biscuit dough over the top in a single layer. Sprinkle the tops of the biscuits with the remaining cheddar cheese. Place back into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes more, or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes then serve.
Notes
Chopped roasted red chile peppers, bell peppers, or chopped roasted green chile can be substituted for the jar of pimiento peppers if desired.
Make this ahead by preparing the recipe through step 3, just freeze it instead of baking it. To cook: bake @ 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until the chicken mixture is hot. Proceed with step 4, topping the bake with cheese and biscuit dough and cook as directed.
