Chicken Biscuit Casserole

A creamy, cheesy casserole loaded with crispy chicken, savory bacon, and fluffy biscuits. This dish is quick to prepare and incredibly satisfying!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked crispy chicken strips (homemade or frozen, chopped into bite-sized pieces)
  • 2 (10.5 oz) cans cream of chicken soup
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream (full-fat recommended for creaminess)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning powder
  • 1/4 cup cooked bacon (crumbled or chopped into small pieces)
  • 1 (16 oz) can biscuit dough (cut each biscuit into quarters)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken and Bacon

  1. If using frozen chicken strips, bake or air-fry them until crispy according to package directions. Let them cool slightly before chopping into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Cook the bacon until crispy (in a skillet or oven), then chop or crumble it into small pieces.

Step 3: Mix the Casserole Base

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine:
    • Cream of chicken soup
    • Sour cream
    • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
    • Ranch seasoning powder
    • Chopped chicken
    • Cooked bacon
  2. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 4: Add the Biscuits

  1. Cut each biscuit into quarters (or smaller pieces for bite-sized chunks).
  2. Gently fold the biscuit pieces into the chicken mixture, ensuring they are well-coated with the creamy base.

Step 5: Assemble the Casserole

  1. Pour the biscuit-chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  2. Spread the mixture evenly, then sprinkle additional shredded cheddar cheese over the top for a melty, golden crust.

Step 6: Bake the Casserole

  1. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until:
    • The biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
    • The casserole is bubbling around the edges.
  2. Check the biscuits in the center of the dish to ensure they are fully baked before removing from the oven.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

  1. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes to set before serving.
  2. Pair with your favorite sides like a fresh green salad, steamed vegetables, or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.

Tips for Success

  1. Cheese Options: Experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella, Colby Jack, or Pepper Jack for a twist.
  2. Biscuit Size: Cutting biscuits into smaller pieces ensures even baking and perfect bites in every serving.
  3. Make-Ahead: Prep the casserole (without adding biscuits) up to 1 day in advance. Store covered in the fridge and stir in the biscuits just before baking.
  4. Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave or oven.

This Chicken Biscuit Casserole is an ultimate comfort food dish that’s creamy, cheesy, and loaded with flavor. Perfect for family dinners, potlucks, or any time you’re craving something hearty and delicious. Enjoy! 🐔🥓🧀
