From the Test Kitchen

Drop biscuits are a delicious and easy way to take casseroles to the next level. To make them, you’ll just scoop (or “drop”) batter onto the casserole before placing it in the oven. As the casserole bakes, the biscuits turn flaky and golden—but they also soften underneath, soaking up the warming flavors of the filling. Ours is made with tender chicken and winter vegetables, all coated in a creamy béchamel sauce. For an herbaceous touch, we’re also adding fresh sage to the biscuits. (Be sure to stir the biscuit ingredients just until they form a batter, ensuring the perfect, light consistency.)
