Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups fresh or frozen broccoli florets, cooked and drained
1 cup cooked, shredded chicken (optional)
1 (10.7 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into quarters
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked vegetables, cream of chicken soup, milk, 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well.
Stir in the cooked broccoli florets and the optional cooked chicken until everything is evenly coated. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Arrange the quartered biscuit pieces evenly over the top of the casserole mixture. Do not overlap them too much.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the casserole from the oven. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese over the hot biscuits and return to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
If using frozen broccoli, thaw and drain it well before adding it to the mixture to prevent a watery casserole.
For a richer flavor, substitute the cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup.
You can prepare the casserole base (steps 1 through 4) a day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Add the biscuits just before baking and add 5-10 minutes to the bake time.
