Ingredients you need to make Asian Chicken Casserole: 

• 1 (7.5 oz) packaged biscuit dough. The Walmart Great Value brand sells 4 packs of 7.5 oz biscuit dough cans. If you can't find the right size, use the smallest can you can find and weigh out 7.5oz. 
• 1 lb fat-free ground chicken
• 2 garlic cloves, diced
• 1 cup chopped carrots
• ⅓ cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
• ½ tablespoon sriracha (optional)
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• ½ tablespoon brown sugar
• Chopped red cabbage
• Diced green onion

How to make Asian Chicken Casserole (step by step): 

1. Spray a large frying pan with some nonstick cooking spray and cook the chicken over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add in the diced garlic and chopped carrots, and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through.
2. In a bowl (or large measuring cup), whisk together the soy sauce, teriyaki, sriracha, lime, ginger, and brown sugar. Pour the sauce into the chicken mixture once the chicken is fully cooked. Let it simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring often.
3. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375F and spray a 9x13 casserole dish with some nonstick cooking spray. Open the biscuits and cut each of the 10 small biscuits into 6 pieces and spread them out over the bottom of the casserole dish.
4. Cover the biscuits with the chicken mixture (don't drain the chicken mixture or your dish will be too dry). Cover the dish with foil and bake in the oven for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes.
5. Top the baked casserole with freshly chopped red cabbage and green onion. Cut into 6 equal servings. Enjoy!

Different ways to change up this recipe: 

• The sriracha is optional, depending on if you like a little heat or not. 
• You can use fat-free ground turkey if you’d like, or even extra lean ground beef. It will just add some extra points. 
• If you want to use more teriyaki without adding points, use G-Huges Sugar-Free teriyaki sauce. Regular teriyaki sauce is high in sugar and will add more points. 

Tips and Tricks for Making Asian Chicken Casserole: 

• If not using the same biscuit dough that I used_, cut the biscuits open (into 2) then cut each piece into 6. If your biscuits are bigger then you need to make sure you have enough pieces of dough to spread on the bottom of the dish. 
• Keep any leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days. This casserole also freezes well if wrapped tightly in Saran wrap. You can store it in the freezer for up to three months.
