Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough, cut into quarters
Optional Toppings
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Sauce Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until fully combined.
- Add Cheese: Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese into the sauce mixture for a cheesy base.
- Combine Chicken and Biscuit Dough: Add the shredded or chopped cooked chicken and the buttermilk biscuit quarters to the bowl. Gently fold everything together to evenly coat the chicken and biscuit pieces with the creamy mixture.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Spread the combined mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, ensuring an even layer.
- Add Topping Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole for a golden cheesy crust.
- Bake: Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the biscuit pieces have puffed up and turned a beautiful golden brown.
- Add Bacon and Parsley: Remove the casserole from the oven, sprinkle crumbled cooked bacon on top if using, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley for color and freshness.
- Rest and Serve: Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving so it sets slightly and is easier to portion.
Notes
- You can substitute cooked rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- For a lower fat version, use reduced-fat sour cream and cheddar cheese.
- Make sure to cut the biscuit dough into quarters to allow even baking and puffing.
- Feel free to omit bacon for a simpler version or to keep it lower in fat.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
