Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chopped chicken (or canned chicken)
- 2 cans cream of chicken soup
- 1½ cups sour cream
- 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar or a cheese blend)
- 2 tablespoons Ranch dressing mix
- ¼ cup cooked, chopped bacon
- 1 (12 oz) can Grands Jr Biscuits, cut into quarters
- 1 additional cup grated cheese, for topping
Ingredient Swaps & Notes
- Chicken: Use rotisserie chicken to save time. Shredded turkey also works great!
- Cream of chicken soup: Substitute with cream of mushroom or cream of celery for a twist.
- Ranch dressing mix: If you’re out, mix garlic powder, dried dill, onion powder, and parsley flakes.
- Biscuits: Use flaky layers or buttermilk-style—whatever’s your favorite!
How to Make Chicken Bubble Biscuit Bake Casserole
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 2: Mix the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
- Cooked chicken
- Cream of chicken soup
- Sour cream
- 1 cup grated cheese
- Ranch seasoning mix
- Cooked, chopped bacon
Step 3: Cut the Biscuits
Pop open your can of Grands Jr Biscuits and cut each biscuit into 4 pieces. Add these biscuit pieces to the chicken mixture and stir gently to coat evenly.
Step 4: Assemble and Top
Pour everything into your prepared baking dish. Spread out evenly. Top with the remaining 1 cup of grated cheese.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Bake uncovered for 25–35 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the biscuit tops are golden brown.
Step 6: Cool & Serve
Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with a crisp salad or steamed green beans for a complete meal.
Tips for Success
- Keep biscuit pieces small so they cook through evenly.
- Check the center with a toothpick to ensure biscuits are fully baked before removing from the oven.
- Double the bacon if you want even more savory depth.
- Add veggies like peas or broccoli for a complete one-dish meal.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with a side of Easy Cheesy Chicken Sliders for a game day spread.
- Serve alongside a fresh cucumber salad or roasted carrots.
- Drizzle on extra ranch dressing—or hot sauce if you like a little heat.
Storage & Leftovers
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10–15 minutes, or microwave individual portions.
- Freezer: Freeze tightly covered (pre- or post-bake) for up to 2 months.
