Chicken Bubble Biscuit Bake Casserole
Chicken Bubble Biscuit Bake Casserole is a comforting dish that combines tender chicken, creamy sauce, crispy bacon, and fluffy biscuit pieces, all topped with melted cheese. It’s perfect for a family dinner or potluck, offering a delightful blend of flavors and textures.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups cooked, chopped chicken: You can use rotisserie chicken, boiled, or even canned chicken.
- 2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of chicken soup: Provides a creamy base for the casserole.
- 1½ cups sour cream: Adds richness and tanginess.
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided: For a cheesy flavor; 1 cup mixed in, 1 cup on top.
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing mix: Adds a zesty kick.
- ¼ cup cooked, chopped bacon: For a smoky, savory element.
- 1 can (12 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough: Cut into quarters; these will “bubble” up during baking.
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Prepare Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing mix, and chopped bacon. Mix until well combined.
- Add Biscuits: Cut each biscuit into four pieces. Gently fold the biscuit pieces into the chicken mixture, ensuring they’re well coated.
- Assemble Casserole: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
- Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm, perhaps with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
Notes
- Biscuit Dough: If you can’t find the 12 oz can of refrigerated biscuits, you can use a larger can (like the 16 oz Grands biscuits). Just leave out two or three biscuits to prevent overcrowding, and adjust the baking time to ensure the biscuits cook through.
- Add Vegetables: For added nutrition, consider mixing in vegetables like peas, carrots, or broccoli.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
