Ingredients
Instructions
- After chicken is cooked and cut into bite-sized pieces, add remaining ingredients along with a small amount of chicken stock.
- Cook until vegetables are just done.
- Let the mixture cool.
- Prepare 1 1/2 recipes of Bisquick biscuits, roll into a large rectangle, and spread over the chicken mixture.
- Roll up the dough and place on a large cookie sheet.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes at 375°F.
- Serve with chicken gravy.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding garlic powder or herbs like thyme or oregano to the chicken mixture. If you don't have Bisquick, you can make a simple dough with all-purpose flour, baking powder, and milk. You can also substitute the mixed vegetables with your favorite frozen or fresh veggies, adjusting cooking time as needed. This dish is great for using up leftover chicken from other meals.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the chicken roll with a side of chicken gravy for added moisture and flavor. A fresh salad or steamed vegetables pairs nicely, balancing the richness of the dish. You might also enjoy it alongside Alpine Potatoes for a comforting meal. For a heartier option, consider serving with a side of roasted potatoes or a light pasta.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken roll in the oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave slices, but be cautious not to overheat, as this can dry out the biscuit dough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of meat in this recipe?
Yes, this recipe can be adapted to include other meats such as turkey or beef. If using beef, ensure it's cooked thoroughly before mixing it with the vegetables. Adjust cooking times as necessary to ensure everything is hot and well combined.
How do I prevent the biscuit dough from becoming soggy?
To prevent the biscuit dough from becoming soggy, make sure the chicken and vegetable mixture is cooled before spreading the dough on top. Also, avoid adding too much chicken stock; just enough to moisten the mixture will do. This helps maintain the biscuit's texture during baking.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the chicken and vegetable mixture a day in advance and store it in the fridge. When ready to serve, roll out the biscuit dough and bake as directed. This makes it a convenient option for meal prep or entertaining guests.
