Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, combine baking mix, milk and butter. Mix just until dry ingredients are moistened.

Drop 12 heaping spoonfuls of dough onto baking sheet at least 2 inches apart. If desired, lightly sprinkle pepper or paprika over the dough.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Meanwhile, heat soup, mixed vegetables, okra, chicken and thyme in a deep 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Simmer 6 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until heated through.

To serve, spoon chicken mixture into bowls. Top each serving with two biscuits.
