Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (fresh or rotisserie)
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 1 cup diced potatoes (you can use fresh or frozen)
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour Can be substituted with whole wheat flour or gluten-free mix.
  • to taste Salt and pepper
For the Topping
  • 1 cup Bisquick mix or any pancake/waffle mix
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Stir in the flour, mixing well to create a roux. Cook for about a minute until golden.
  4. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and bubbles (approximately 3-4 minutes).
  5. Add in the shredded chicken, frozen peas and carrots, diced potatoes, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is evenly coated in the sauce. Remove from heat.
Topping Preparation
  1. In a separate bowl, prepare the topping by mixing the Bisquick mix, egg, and milk until just combined. The mixture should be slightly lumpy.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Transfer the chicken filling into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  2. Pour the topping batter over the filling, covering it completely.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  4. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results. To make it vegetarian or dairy-free, use vegetable broth, plant-based milk, and substitute chicken with vegetables or legumes.
