How to Make Hearty Chicken Bubble Biscuit Bake Casserole

Making this casserole is easy! You’ll layer tender chicken, creamy soup, and buttery biscuits into a delicious dish. Here’s how to do it step by step.

Ingredients

3 cups cooked chicken (shredded rotisserie chicken simplifies prep or substitute with leftover turkey)
1 can cream of chicken soup (try cream of mushroom or cream of celery for different flavors)
1 cup sour cream (you can use plain Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
1/2 cup milk (any type of milk works, including dairy-free options)
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (fresh vegetables like peas or corn can be swapped in)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (fresh garlic can be added for a more robust taste)
1 teaspoon onion powder (sautéed fresh onions can add nice texture)
to taste salt (adjust amounts based on your taste preferences)
to taste pepper (adjust amounts based on your taste preferences)
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (homemade dough or other breads can be used, but baking times will change)
1 cup shredded cheese (consider cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend like Monterey Jack for gooey goodness)
2 tablespoons melted butter (optional for brushing on top to add extra richness)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, mix together the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, frozen vegetables, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Pour the mixture into a casserole dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters and place them on top of the chicken mixture.
If you choose, brush melted butter over the biscuits for added richness.
Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
