Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat the Oven
-
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2️⃣ Prepare the Chicken Mixture
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the following:
-
3 cups cooked, chopped chicken
-
2 cans of cream of chicken soup (undiluted)
-
1½ cups sour cream
-
1 cup grated cheese
-
2 tablespoons ranch dressing mix
-
¼ cup cooked and chopped bacon
-
-
Mix everything thoroughly until it’s fully combined and creamy.
-
Tip: For extra flavor, add a pinch of black pepper or garlic powder.
3️⃣ Cut the Biscuits
-
Open the can of Grands Jr biscuits.
-
Using a sharp knife or clean kitchen scissors, cut each biscuit into 4 pieces (quarters).
-
Toss all the biscuit pieces into the bowl with the chicken mixture.
-
Gently stir until biscuit pieces are fully coated and evenly mixed in.
-
Be gentle when stirring to avoid breaking up the biscuit dough too much.
4️⃣ Assemble the Casserole
-
Pour the entire mixture into your prepared baking dish.
-
Use a spoon or spatula to spread it out evenly.
-
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of grated cheese evenly over the top.
5️⃣ Bake
-
Place the dish in the preheated oven.
-
Bake for 25–35 minutes, or until:
-
The casserole is bubbling around the edges
-
The biscuit pieces are golden brown and cooked through
-
The cheese on top is melted and lightly browned
-
Oven times may vary — check doneness by gently inserting a knife into the center to ensure biscuits are cooked and not doughy.
-
6️⃣ Cool and Serve
-
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps it firm up slightly and makes scooping easier.
-
Serve warm with a side salad, steamed veggies, or just on its own!
Storage & Reheating
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
-
Reheat in the oven at 325°F (165°C) for 10–15 minutes or microwave individual portions for 1–2 minutes until hot.
Optional Add-Ins:
-
Corn kernels
-
Sautéed onions
-
Diced green chilies or jalapeños (for a kick)
-
Garlic powder or paprika for more seasoning
