Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make a comforting Chicken Bubble Biscuit Bake Casserole that serves 4 to 6 hungry people:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded (rotisserie works perfectly)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup milk
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into quarters
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Optional garnish: chopped parsley or green onions
Directions
Step 1: Preheat and prepare the baking dish
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or a deep casserole dish with butter or nonstick spray. This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Step 2: Prepare the creamy chicken mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and milk. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Next, fold in the chopped chicken, frozen vegetables, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
Step 3: Add the “bubble” biscuits
Open your can of refrigerated biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters. Gently fold the biscuit pieces into the chicken mixture, making sure they’re coated but not crushed. These biscuit chunks will puff up and form golden, bubbly layers as they bake.
Step 4: Assemble the casserole
Pour the mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish. Spread it out gently so the biscuits are distributed throughout the casserole. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheese evenly over the top. Drizzle the melted butter for extra richness.
Step 5: Bake until bubbly and golden
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the biscuits are fully cooked through (no doughy centers). If the top browns too quickly, cover the casserole loosely with foil halfway through baking.
Step 6: Rest and serve
Once baked, let the casserole rest for about 5–10 minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to thicken slightly and the biscuits to set. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions for a burst of color and freshness.
Tips for Perfect Results
- Use pre-cooked chicken. This saves time and ensures tender meat. Rotisserie chicken is ideal for this dish.
- Don’t overmix the biscuits. Gently fold them in to prevent them from becoming dense.
- Check biscuit doneness. Insert a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, the biscuits are fully baked.
- Add a crunchy topping. Sprinkle crushed Ritz crackers or French-fried onions before baking for extra texture.
- Make it ahead. You can assemble the casserole in advance, refrigerate it for up to 24 hours, and bake it just before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Chicken Bubble Biscuit Bake is hearty enough to stand alone, but it pairs beautifully with a few simple sides:
- A crisp green salad with a tangy vinaigrette balances the richness of the casserole.
- Steamed broccoli or green beans add freshness and color to the plate.
- Cranberry sauce or coleslaw can bring a sweet or tangy contrast.
If you’re serving guests or want a more filling dinner, add a side of garlic mashed potatoes or buttery corn on the cob.
Storing and Reheating
Leftovers keep well for up to 3 days in the refrigerator when stored in an airtight container. To reheat, cover the casserole with foil and bake at 325°F (165°C) until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for 1–2 minutes, but the biscuits will stay fluffier when reheated in the oven.
For longer storage, this casserole freezes beautifully. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
