Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 cups (300 g) cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works great)
Dairy and Creamy Components:
- 1 ½ cups (150 g) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- ½ cup (120 ml) sour cream
- ¼ cup (60 ml) milk
- 1 can (10.5 oz or 300 g) cream of chicken soup
Seasonings and Additional Components:
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 can (16 oz or 450 g) refrigerated biscuit dough, each biscuit cut into quarters
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking vessel by preheating the oven to 375F (190C) and coating a 9×13-inch dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Dice the cooked chicken into uniform bite-sized pieces, ensuring each chunk is roughly the same size for consistent texture and even heating.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with cream cheese, allowing the cheese to soften and create a creamy, luxurious coating.
- Incorporate buffalo sauce and ranch dressing into the chicken mixture, stirring gently to distribute the tangy and zesty flavors evenly throughout.
- Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough into individual pieces, then gently stretch and flatten each piece to create a more pliable texture.
- Layer the bottom of the greased baking dish with the flattened biscuit dough, creating a uniform base that will absorb the savory chicken mixture.
- Spread the seasoned chicken mixture across the biscuit layer, ensuring an even distribution that covers the entire surface.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the chicken layer, creating a melty, golden topping that will develop a crispy texture during baking.
- Transfer the assembled casserole to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit dough turns golden brown and the cheese melts completely.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes, allowing the ingredients to set and making it easier to serve.
Notes
- Customize the casserole by swapping chicken for rotisserie or leftover roasted turkey for a quick weeknight dinner variation.
- Boost nutrition by adding colorful mixed vegetables like diced bell peppers, peas, or broccoli florets to the filling for extra vitamins and texture.
- Use reduced-fat cream cheese and low-fat biscuits for a lighter version of this comfort food classic, perfect for those watching their calorie intake.
- Create a gluten-free option by substituting regular biscuits with gluten-free biscuit dough and ensuring all other ingredients are gluten-free certified.
