Ingredients
- 1 recipe homemade buttermilk biscuits*
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- ⅓ cup (42 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (480 g) chicken broth
- 2 cups (490 g) whole milk, room temperature
- 4 cups (364 g) broccoli florets
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne more or less to taste
- 1 cup (140 g) rotisserie chicken**, finely shredded
- 2 cups (226 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Garlic Butter
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large 13-inch skillet over medium heat, melt butter.
- Once melted, add onion and cook until softened (about 8-10 minutes). Add garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.
- Sprinkle in flour and whisk together until lightly browned (about a minute).
- Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk, whisking constantly, until no flour lumps remain.
- Add the broccoli, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
- While the broccoli is cooking, prepare the biscuit dough.
- After the broccoli is tender, add the chicken and shredded cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted.
- Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. (Or, if you are using a large enough oven-safe skillet, you could leave the casserole in the skillet to bake in the oven.)
- Gently shape the biscuit dough into six equal-sized pieces and add them evenly to the top of the dish.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the casserole is hot and bubbly.
- While the casserole is baking, make the garlic butter. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, salt, garlic, and parsley.
- After removing the casserole from the oven, immediately brush the tops of the biscuits with the garlic butter.
- Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
