Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  2. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  3. Spread shredded chicken evenly in the bottom of the dish.
  4. Top with frozen peas and carrots.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, salt, and pepper.
  6. Pour the soup mixture over the chicken and vegetables—do not stir.
  7. In another bowl, mix the self-rising flour with milk to form a loose batter.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of the batter gently over the casserole filling.
  9. Drizzle the melted butter evenly across the batter layer.
