Ingredients You’ll Need

These everyday ingredients make a creamy chicken filling with tender biscuit pieces.

• Refrigerated biscuit dough: 1 can (16 oz), 8 regular biscuits, not Grands; cut each into quarters.
• Cooked shredded chicken: 2 cups; rotisserie chicken or leftovers both work.
• Cream of chicken soup: 1 can (10.5 oz) for the savory sauce.
• Sour cream: 1 cup for a creamy, tangy filling.
• Shredded cheddar cheese: 1 cup, plus more for topping if you like.
• Milk: ⅓ cup to loosen the sauce.
• Garlic powder: ½ teaspoon for savory flavor.
• Onion powder: ½ teaspoon to round out the seasoning.
• Salt and black pepper: To taste.
• Chopped parsley: Optional, for serving.

Step by Step Instructions

1. Heat the oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish.
2. Cut the biscuits: Quarter each biscuit and set the pieces aside while you make the filling.
3. Mix the filling: In a large bowl, stir together the soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cheddar until smooth.
4. Fold in the chicken and biscuits: Add the shredded chicken and biscuit pieces. Stir gently until coated, then spread the mixture evenly in the prepared dish. Add extra cheddar on top if desired.
5. Bake and rest: Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 mins, until the biscuits are golden and cooked through. Let the casserole rest for 5 to 10 mins, then garnish with parsley if using.

Recipe Tips

• Fold gently: I’d stir the biscuit pieces in last with a light hand so they keep their shape and bake into soft pockets.
• Check the center: If the biscuits look pale or doughy, bake a little longer and check again before serving.
• Watch the top: If the cheese browns before the biscuit pieces are done, loosely cover the dish with foil and continue baking.
• Use a hot oven: Let the oven reach 350°F before the casserole goes in so the biscuits bake evenly.

Variations and Customization Ideas

• Change the protein: Use cooked turkey or ham in place of the chicken.
• Add vegetables: Fold in frozen peas, sautéed mushrooms, or another cooked vegetable.
• Switch the soup: Cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup can replace the cream of chicken soup.
• Try homemade biscuits: Cut the dough into small pieces and allow extra baking time if needed.
• Use leftover chicken: This is a handy way to turn cooked chicken into a filling dinner.

Save

Serving Suggestions

• Crisp salad: Add a simple green salad with a light vinaigrette to cut through the creamy sauce.

How to Store and Reheat

Store leftovers in a covered airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Refrigerate them within 2 hours of baking.

The baked casserole can be frozen in an airtight freezer safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating; the biscuits may soften a little after freezing.

Reheat portions covered in a 350°F oven until hot throughout. For food safety, reheat leftovers to 165°F.

Recipe FAQ’s

Can I make chicken bubble biscuit casserole ahead of time?

You can mix the creamy filling and chicken ahead, then refrigerate it covered. For the best biscuit texture, cut and fold in the biscuit pieces just before baking.

How do I know when the biscuits are cooked through?

The tops should look golden, and the pieces should no longer appear wet or doughy in the center. If they need more time, cover the top loosely with foil if it is browning too quickly.

Can I use turkey instead of chicken?

Yes. Use cooked shredded turkey in the same amount as the chicken, then follow the recipe as written.

Chicken Bubble Biscuit Bake Casserole brings shredded chicken, cheddar, and soft biscuit pieces together in a creamy filling with very little hands on prep.
