Chicken and Biscuits

1 package (16 ounces) frozen mixed vegetables
2-1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
3/4 cup milk
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled, optional

Biscuits
1-1/2 cups biscuit/baking mix
2/3 cup milk
1 can (2.8 ounces) french-fried onions

In a large bowl, combine the vegetables, chicken, soup, milk, 1 cup cheese and bacon if desired. Pour into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Cover and bake at 400° for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in another bowl, combine biscuit mix and milk. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto chicken mixture.

Bake, uncovered, for 20-22 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. Top with onions and remaining cheese. Bake 3-4 minutes longer or until the cheese is melted. Makes 6 servings.
