Ingredients

1 can Cream of chicken soup
1 can Onion -- french-fried
3/4 cup Milk
10 ounce Chicken -- cooked
1/4 teaspoon Salt -- seasoned
1/4 cup Milk
1 package Mixed vegetables
1 cup Biscuit mix
1 large Egg

Directions

1
Preheat the oven to 425&# 194;Â°F (220ÃÂ°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.

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.
