1 cup self-rising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

2. Spread shredded chicken evenly in the prepared dish.
3. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and whisk in flour to create a roux.
4. Gradually add chicken broth and 1 cup of milk, whisking until thickened. Season with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
5. Pour the gravy over the chicken in the baking dish.
6. In a separate bowl, mix self-rising flour, 1/2 cup milk, and melted butter until just combined.
7. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the chicken and gravy mixture.
8. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through.
9. Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley or green onions if desired.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken to save time and add flavor.
Don’t overmix the biscuit topping—it should be soft and tender.
