Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

2. Sauté the Vegetables:

4. Add Chicken and Peas:

  • Fold in shredded chicken and frozen peas, mixing until evenly combined.

5. Assemble the Casserole:

  • Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
  • Arrange biscuit dough on top, leaving space between for expansion.

6. Bake:

7. Serve:

  • Let the casserole rest for a few minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
