30 Minutes or Less, Main Dishes

Ingredients

3 cups Pioneer® Buttermilk Biscuit & Baking Mix
1 ¼ cup Milk
1 tbsp Garlic, minced (dried or fresh)
½ tsp Dried thyme
2 cups Pioneer® Roasted Chicken Gravy Mix, prepared
2 ½ cups Cooked chicken, shredded or diced
1 ½ cups Broccoli florets, chopped
½ cup Cheddar cheese, shredded

This Chicken Broccoli Casserole recipe uses Pioneer Buttermilk Baking Mix for the golden, biscuit-style topping that makes this creamy chicken and broccoli bake a hearty, satisfying dinner the whole family will actually look forward to.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat conventional oven to 425°F.

  2. Start the Batter

    Add milk to a mixing bowl, then add Pioneer Buttermilk Baking Mix on top.

  3. Mix and Season Batter

    Mix ingredients together until a thick, smooth batter forms; then fold in garlic and dried thyme until combined.

  4. Layer the Casserole

    Add prepared Pioneer Roasted Chicken Gravy to a 13×9 inch casserole dish, top with chopped chicken and broccoli florets, then top with cheddar cheese.

  5. Top with Batter

    Drop a spoonful of batter at a time on top of chicken and gravy mixture (leaving about ½-inch or so in between spoonfuls) until entire casserole is topped with batter.

  6. Bake and Serve

    Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and serve. Tip: these can be made ahead, starting with only step 4 then storing the casserole in the refrigerator, covered. Then when ready to cook, proceed to steps 1-3 then skip to step 5. In this case the casserole may take about 5-10 minutes longer to bake.
