Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 2 cups cooked chopped chicken
- 1/4 cup cooked chopped bacon
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 ounces (226 grams) sour cream
- 1 (10.5-ounce/298 grams) can unsalted cream of chicken soup
Other Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 tablespoons ranch dressing mix
- 1 (12-ounce/340 grams) can refrigerated Grands Jr biscuits (10-count biscuits)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350º F and coating a 9×13-inch baking dish with a light layer of cooking spray.
- Create a robust flavor base by blending shredded chicken with cream of chicken soup, tangy sour cream, sharp cheddar cheese, zesty Ranch seasoning mix, and crispy crumbled bacon in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Transform refrigerated biscuit dough into bite-sized morsels by quartering each biscuit into four equal pieces.
- Thoroughly incorporate the biscuit fragments into the chicken mixture, ensuring every piece is generously coated with the creamy, savory blend.
- Transfer the fully mixed concoction into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to guarantee consistent cooking and flavor distribution.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, monitoring until the top turns a golden-brown hue and the edges become delightfully bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes, enabling the flavors to settle and the texture to stabilize before serving.
Notes
- Customize protein by using rotisserie chicken, shredded turkey, or even swap for plant-based chicken alternatives for dietary needs.
- Reduce sodium content by selecting low-sodium cream of chicken soup and using reduced-fat cheese varieties.
- Create a gluten-free version by choosing gluten-free biscuits and ensuring all packaged ingredients are certified gluten-free.
- Enhance flavor depth by adding fresh herbs like chives or parsley, or incorporating diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
