Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 can (10.75 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Biscuit and Topping
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuits
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature before baking the casserole.
- Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. Stir thoroughly to mix all ingredients well and create a creamy filling.
- Add Biscuits: Cut each refrigerated biscuit into quarters and gently fold them into the chicken mixture. This ensures the biscuit pieces are evenly incorporated without breaking apart too much.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the biscuit and chicken mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly for consistent baking.
- Add Butter Topping: Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the casserole. This will help create a golden, buttery crust during baking.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the biscuit pieces are cooked through, indicating the casserole is heated and set.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve hot. This dish pairs nicely with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken leftovers or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup for a different flavor.
- For extra cheesiness, sprinkle extra cheddar cheese on top before baking.
- Ensure biscuits are distributed evenly to avoid dense or dry spots.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes after baking before serving for easier slicing.
