Season with salt and black pepper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mix the sauce:<\/strong> In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth until smooth, then pour this mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables. <em>Do not stir.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prepare the topping:<\/strong> In a separate bowl, combine the cheddar biscuit mix, milk, and the included seasoning packet until a dough forms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add butter:<\/strong> Pour the melted butter evenly into the bottom of a separate dish or directly drizzle it, but the traditional method is pouring the melted butter into the baking dish <em>before<\/em> adding the batter, or pouring the batter over the butter without stirring.
