A delightful and easy-to-make dish combining chicken, rice, and a buttery biscuit topping.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a perfect bake.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cooked rice, and chicken broth. Set aside.
Use warm broth to help blend the flavors together.
Melt the butter and pour it into a 1 1/2 quart round casserole dish.
Ensure the butter coats the bottom evenly for a non-stick effect.
In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and milk until smooth. Pour this mixture into the casserole dish over the butter.
Avoid overmixing to keep the topping light and fluffy.
Spoon the chicken and rice mixture into the center of the casserole dish.
Gently spoon the mixture to avoid disturbing the topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the topping; it should come out clean.
Let the dish stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Allowing the dish to rest helps the flavors meld together.
