Description

This comforting Lattice-Top Chicken Bake is the ultimate weeknight comfort food, combining tender cooked chicken and mixed vegetables in a rich, creamy sauce. The dish is elevated by a savory topping made from biscuit mix, baked until golden brown and perfectly risen. It offers a delightful contrast between the soft, aromatic filling and the crisp, buttery crust. Ideal for busy evenings when you crave a hearty, home-style meal without spending hours in the kitchen, this bake serves four generously. It pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or steamed broccoli for a complete dinner that the whole family will love.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425&# 194;°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, 3/4 cup milk, seasoned salt, cooked chicken, mixed vegetables, half of the french-fried onions, and half of any additional cheese if using.
  3. Spread the chicken mixture evenly into a greased 8x8-inch or similar casserole dish.
  4. Bake uncovered for 10 minutes to heat the filling.
  5. While the filling bakes, prepare the topping by combining the biscuit mix, egg, and 1/4 cup milk in a small bowl until a soft dough forms.
  6. Remove the dish from the oven and spoon the biscuit dough over the hot chicken mixture.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and fully risen.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining french-fried onions (and cheese, if using) over the top.
  9. Let stand for 5 minutes to allow the topping to set slightly before serving.

Note

The original recipe mentions "cheese" in the directions but does not list it in the ingredients. If you wish to add cheese, try cheddar or mozzarella, dividing it as directed in the steps.

"French-fried onions" refers to canned fried onion slices (like French's), not raw onions.

Storage: Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.

Variation: Use cream of mushroom soup for a different flavor profile, or swap mixed vegetables for broccoli florets.
