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 Topping
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuits
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the casserole evenly.
- Mix Chicken Base: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are incorporated into a creamy mixture.
- Prepare Biscuits: Cut each refrigerated biscuit into quarters, then gently fold the biscuit pieces into the chicken mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed without crushing the dough.
- Assemble Casserole: Spoon the combined mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
- Add Butter Topping: Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the casserole, which will help create a golden crust during baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown on top and the biscuit dough is fully cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot, ideally paired with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
Notes
- You can substitute the cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom or cream of celery for a different flavor.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the chicken mixture.
- Use homemade biscuit dough if preferred for a fresher taste.
- Ensure biscuits are cut into quarters gently to avoid tearing them apart.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated thoroughly before serving.
