Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the Pillsbury Grands biscuits on the baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt the salted butter over medium heat. Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until light golden.
  3. Gradually add the chicken broth and half and half while whisking vigorously to prevent lumps. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Simmer until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the cooked shredded chicken and frozen mixed vegetables. Cover and simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Uncover and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted. The filling should be creamy and smooth.
  6. Spoon the creamy chicken mixture over the baked biscuits and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
