Here’s a classic recipe with plenty of tips and variations to make it your own.

Chicken Bubble Biscuit Bake Casserole

This recipe is a creamy, savory chicken filling topped with fluffy biscuit pieces that bake up golden brown and “bubble up” around the edges.

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 30-35 minutes
Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

For the Chicken Filling:

· 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken is perfect!)
· 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup, undiluted
· ½ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
· ½ cup chicken broth or milk
· 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
· 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn), thawed (optional but classic)
· 1 teaspoon garlic powder
· ½ teaspoon onion powder
· ½ teaspoon dried thyme or parsley
· Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Biscuit Topping:

· 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (the “Grands!” style work best)
· 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing on top)
· ½ teaspoon dried parsley or garlic powder (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
  4. Gently fold in the cooked chicken and the frozen mixed vegetables (if using) until everything is evenly coated.

Step 2: Assemble the Casserole

  1. Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
  2. Open the can of biscuits. Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut each biscuit into quarters.
  3. Scatter the biscuit pieces evenly over the top of the chicken mixture.

Step 3: Bake to Perfection

  1. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
  2. After 20 minutes, carefully remove the casserole from the oven. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese over the top of the biscuits.
  3. Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown, the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the filling is hot around the edges.

Step 4: Final Touch and Serve

  1. For an extra golden finish, brush the top of the hot biscuits with the melted butter and sprinkle with a little dried parsley.
  2. Let the casserole stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly, making it easier to scoop.

Serving Suggestions

· As-Is: It’s a complete meal in one dish!
· With a Side: A simple green salad, steamed green beans, or roasted broccoli pairs perfectly to balance the richness.

Pro Tips & Variations

· Don’t Overmix: Gently fold the biscuits into the topping without stirring them into the filling. You want them to sit on top to get golden and fluffy.
· Customize the Veggies: Swap the mixed veggies for chopped broccoli florets, sautéed mushrooms, or diced onions and bell peppers.
· “Everything Bagel” Version: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the biscuits before baking for a delicious, savory crunch.
· Bacon Lovers: Add ½ cup of cooked, crumbled bacon to the filling. Crumble a little extra on top before serving.
· Creamier Filling: If you prefer a saucier casserole, increase the sour cream to ¾ cup and the chicken broth to ¾ cup.
· Check for Doneness: The best way to know it’s done is that the biscuit pieces should be deep golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.

This casserole is the definition of easy, cheesy, and satisfying comfort food. Enjoy
