Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 3 cups cooked chopped chicken
Dairy and Creamy Components:
- 2 cans cream of chicken soup
- 1 1/2 cups sour cream
- 2 cups grated cheese (1 cup mixed in, 1 cup for topping)
Additional Flavoring and Texture Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing mix
- 1/4 cup cooked, chopped bacon
- 1 (12 ounces / 340 grams) can refrigerator Grands Jr Biscuits
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blend shredded cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, first portion of cheese, Ranch seasoning, and crispy bacon pieces until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Slice each refrigerated biscuit into four equal quarters, then gently fold these pieces into the chicken mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Carefully distribute the chicken-biscuit blend across the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer and maintaining uniform thickness.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top, creating a generous and inviting cheese surface that will melt and brown during baking.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-35 minutes, monitoring until the top turns golden brown and the edges become crispy and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes, which helps set the ingredients and makes serving easier.
- Serve immediately while hot, complementing the dish with fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
- Refrigerate any remaining portions in sealed containers within 2 hours of cooking, consuming within 3-4 days and reheating thoroughly before enjoying.
Notes
- Customize biscuit types by using gluten-free or whole wheat biscuits to accommodate different dietary needs and preferences.
- Reduce sodium content by selecting low-sodium cream of chicken soup and using less bacon or replacing it with turkey bacon for a healthier alternative.
- Enhance flavor complexity by experimenting with different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or smoked gouda to create unique taste profiles.
- Prepare components ahead of time by cooking chicken and chopping bacon in advance, making weeknight meal preparation faster and more convenient.
