Cooked Chicken – Shredded or cubed; rotisserie chicken works perfectly for convenience.
Refrigerated Biscuits – The “bubble” part of the bake; they expand as they cook, creating a soft, fluffy texture.
Cream of Chicken Soup – The base of the creamy sauce that binds everything together.
Sour Cream – Adds tang and creaminess for a rich, balanced flavor.
Cheddar Cheese – Melts into the sauce for that irresistible cheesy goodness.
Milk – Helps thin out the sauce to the perfect consistency.
Butter – Adds richness and flavor to the topping.
Garlic Powder – Enhances the savory flavor of the casserole.
Onion Powder – Adds depth and warmth to the creamy sauce.
Salt & Pepper – For seasoning to taste.
Parsley or Chives (optional) – For garnish and a pop of color.
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked chicken and half of the shredded cheese to the mixture, stirring until evenly coated. Cut the refrigerated biscuits into quarters and gently fold them into the sauce mixture, ensuring each piece is coated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the casserole is bubbly around the edges.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives for a fresh touch.
