FAQs
Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?

What kind of chicken works best?
Rotisserie chicken is easiest, but any cooked, shredded, or diced chicken will do.
Can I prepare this casserole ahead of time?
Yes, assemble the layers (without baking) and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Bake when ready to serve.
How do I prevent the biscuit topping from getting too brown?
If the top browns too quickly, tent the casserole loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
Can I make this without the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix?
