Variations

Veggie Boost

Add 1 cup of frozen peas and carrots (thawed) or sautéed mushrooms and spinach for extra nutrition and color.

Buffalo Style

Replace 1/4 cup of sour cream with buffalo sauce and use blue cheese instead of cheddar for a spicy twist.

Southwest Flair

Add a can of drained corn and black beans, swap the ranch seasoning for taco seasoning, and top with pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar.

Italian Version

Use Italian seasoning instead of ranch, add some diced bell peppers and onions, and substitute mozzarella for the cheddar cheese.

How to Make Chicken Bubble Biscuit Bake

Step 1: Prepare Your Base

Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and ranch seasoning. Mix until well blended and creamy.

Step 2: Add the Stars

Gently fold in your shredded rotisserie chicken and the cut biscuit pieces. Take care not to squish the biscuit dough – you want those pieces to remain distinct so they can puff up beautifully during baking.

Step 3: Assemble and Top

Spread the mixture evenly in a 9×13 baking dish, making sure those biscuit pieces are distributed throughout. Sprinkle the remaining 1½ cups of cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 4: Bake to Bubbly Perfection

Bake for 30-35 minutes until the biscuits have puffed up and the cheese topping is melted and lightly golden brown. The casserole should be bubbling around the edges.

Step 5: Rest and Serve

Allow the casserole to rest for 3-4 minutes after removing from the oven. This crucial step lets the sauce thicken slightly. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, then serve while warm and enjoy the cheesy, biscuity goodness!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

  • Biscuit Selection Matters: Stick with buttermilk or southern style biscuits – the flaky layers type won’t give you the same pillowy results.
  • Cheese Strategy: Shred your own cheese from a block instead of using pre-packaged shredded cheese. It melts much better without those anti-caking agents getting in the way.
  • Prep Ahead: Cook and crumble your bacon up to a day ahead to save time on dinner night.
  • Distribution is Key: Make sure those biscuit pieces are evenly spread throughout the dish to ensure even cooking.
  • Watch Your Bake: Every oven is different, so start checking at about 25 minutes. You want the biscuits fully cooked but not overly browned.

How to Serve

Perfect Pairings

Serve with a simple green salad dressed with vinaigrette to balance the richness of the casserole.

Family Style

Place the casserole in the center of the table and let everyone dig in – this dish is meant for sharing!

Complete Meal

Add a side of steamed broccoli or green beans for a complete, balanced dinner that comes together in minutes.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors actually get better as they meld together!

Freezing

This dish can be frozen after baking, though the biscuits may lose some of their texture. Freeze in portion-sized containers for up to 2 months.

Reheating

For best results, reheat portions in the oven at 325°F until warmed through (about 15-20 minutes). Cover with foil to prevent over-browning. Microwave reheating works in a pinch, but may make the biscuits slightly softer.

FAQs

  1. Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of refrigerated biscuits?

    Absolutely! If you have a favorite biscuit recipe, you can use that instead. Just prepare the dough, cut it into small pieces, and fold it into the mixture as you would with the refrigerated biscuits. Keep in mind that homemade biscuits might need slightly different baking times, so keep an eye on your casserole.

  2. What if I don’t have rotisserie chicken on hand?

    No problem! You can easily substitute about 3 cups of any cooked chicken. Poach or bake chicken breasts, then shred them, or even use leftovers from another meal. Just make sure the chicken is well-seasoned or your casserole might need an extra flavor boost.

  3. Can I make this dish lighter or lower in calories?

    Yes, you can make some substitutions to lighten it up. Try using reduced-fat cream of chicken soup, light sour cream, and reduced-fat cheese. You could also reduce the amount of bacon or substitute turkey bacon. The taste will be slightly different but still delicious!

  4. My family doesn’t like ranch seasoning. What can I use instead?

    If ranch isn’t your thing, try Italian seasoning mix, onion soup mix, or a combination of garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, and a touch of lemon pepper. These alternatives will give you a different but equally delicious flavor profile.

Final Thoughts

This Chicken Bubble Biscuit Bake is what I call “happiness in a casserole dish.” It’s the perfect solution for those busy weeknights when you want something homemade and hearty without spending hours in the kitchen. The combination of tender chicken, puffy biscuits, and that creamy, cheesy sauce creates a meal that feels like a warm hug on a plate. Give it a try this week – I’m betting it becomes a permanent addition to your dinner rotation!

Perfect for busy weeknights or a family gathering, this easy recipe bakes into bubbly, golden perfection with every bite delivering flavor-packed satisfaction!

Ingredients

Units Scale

Filling

  • 21 ounces condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (approximately 6 slices or 1/2 pound uncooked bacon)
  • 1 ounce ranch seasoning mix

Main Mixture

  • 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 10.2 ounces refrigerated Grands Buttermilk Biscuits (cut each biscuit into 6 pieces, approximately 3/4 to 1 inch in size)

Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the dish to golden, bubbly perfection.
  2. Prepare the Filling
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded mild cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and ranch seasoning mix. Mix well until evenly combined.
  3. Mix the Main Ingredients
    Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and the cut pieces of Grands Buttermilk Biscuits to the bowl. Gently fold all the ingredients together, being cautious not to overwork or smash the biscuit pieces.
  4. Assemble the Casserole
    Spread the chicken and biscuit mixture evenly into a 9×13 baking dish. Make sure the biscuit pieces are evenly distributed to ensure even baking.
  5. Top with Cheese
    Sprinkle the remaining 1 ½ cups of shredded mild cheddar cheese over the top of the mixture for extra cheesy goodness.
  6. Bake
    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Watch for the biscuits to puff up, and the cheese to melt and turn lightly golden.
  7. Rest and Garnish
    Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to rest for 3-4 minutes. This will give the sauce time to thicken slightly. Garnish with minced fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use buttermilk or southern-style refrigerated biscuits for this recipe. Avoid using the flaky-layer style as it may not yield optimal results.
  • If using a 12-ounce can of Grands Jr. biscuits, cut them into quarters and proceed as directed.
  • Avoid using the larger 16.3-ounce can of Grands Buttermilk Biscuits as it will overfill the dish and distort baking time.
  • Shredding cheese from a block provides better melting than pre-shredded cheese, which often contains anti-caking agents.
  • You can pre-cook and crumble bacon up to a day ahead. Use any extra crumbles for salads or as toppings for other meals.
