Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 cups (473 ml) cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded cheddar cheese
Creamy Base:
- 1 can (10.75 ounces/305 grams) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Topping:
- 1 can (16 ounces/454 grams) refrigerated biscuits
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish with a light coating of cooking spray.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly combine shredded chicken, cream soup, sour cream, shredded cheese, milk, garlic powder, and black pepper until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Slice refrigerated biscuits into bite-sized quarters, then gently fold them into the creamy chicken mixture, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.
- Carefully spread the chicken and biscuit blend into the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer.
- Drizzle melted butter uniformly across the top of the casserole, which will help create a golden, crispy surface.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown color and ensuring biscuits are fully cooked through.
- Remove from oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set and cool slightly.
Notes
- Customize protein by using rotisserie chicken, turkey, or even canned tuna for a quick swap.
- Reduce sodium by choosing low-sodium cream soup and controlling added salt.
- Add extra vegetables like diced bell peppers or frozen mixed vegetables for nutritional boost and color.
- Make gluten-free by substituting regular biscuits with gluten-free biscuit mix and checking cream soup ingredients.
