Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350º F.

Start by preparing filling: melt butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté carrots, onion and celery until just tender.

Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant, then sprinkle flour over the veggies. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until flour has cooked and has absorbed most of the moisture in the skillet.

Stir continuously and pour in chicken stock and half-and-half. Add chicken and Worcestershire sauce, then season with salt and pepper.

Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until thickened, then pour into greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

For the biscuits: combine bisquick mix with milk, melted butter and garlic powder and stir together.

Fold in cheddar cheese, then roll dough into small balls and place on top of chicken filling.

Place in oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until biscuits are springy to the touch and chicken filling is bubbly.

While casserole bakes, combine topping ingredients in a small bowl. Remove baking dish from oven and immediately brush biscuits with seasoned butter mixture.
