Chicken Filling
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Biscuit Topping
- 1 can (16 oz) pre-made biscuit dough or homemade biscuit dough
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (optional, for browning)
- Prepare the Chicken Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir until well blended to ensure balanced flavor and creaminess in every bite.
- Assemble the Casserole: Lightly grease a baking dish, then spread the chicken mixture evenly across the bottom to form a hearty base layer.
- Add the Biscuit Topping: Separate the pre-made biscuit dough into individual pieces and arrange them evenly over the chicken mixture, creating a fluffy topping that will soak up the creamy filling.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, and the cheese is bubbly and fragrant.
- Let It Rest Before Serving: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes after baking to let the layers settle, making serving easier and enhancing flavor melding.
Notes
- Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save prep time.
- Gently place biscuit dough on top without overmixing to keep biscuits fluffy.
- Check biscuits around 25 minutes to prevent over-browning.
- Sprinkle fresh parsley or thyme before serving for a fresh herbaceous flavor.
- Assemble the casserole the night before and refrigerate; bake when ready to save time on busy days.
