Chicken Bubble Biscuit Bake Casserole
This recipe is incredibly versatile—use leftover chicken, a rotisserie chicken, or even canned chicken for a quick fix.
Ingredients
For the Chicken Filling:
· 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (from a rotisserie chicken is perfect)
· 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
· 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
· 2 cloves garlic, minced
· 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
· 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup
· 1/2 cup sour cream
· 1/2 cup chicken broth
· 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
· 1 teaspoon dried parsley
· 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
· 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
· Salt, to taste
For the Biscuit Topping:
· 1 (16 oz) can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits) – the “Grands!” style work best
· 2 tablespoons melted butter
· 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
· 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Part 1: Make the Chicken Filling
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for one more minute until fragrant.
- Combine Filling: Remove the skillet from the heat. To the skillet, add the cooked chicken, frozen vegetables, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, dried parsley, garlic powder, and pepper. Stir until everything is well combined. Taste and add salt if needed.
- Transfer to Dish: Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
Part 2: Add the Biscuit Topping
- Prepare Biscuits: Open the can of biscuit dough. Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut each biscuit into 4 equal pieces.
- Create “Bubbles”: Scatter the biscuit pieces evenly over the top of the chicken and cheese filling. They should be in a single layer but close together—they will expand as they bake.
- Butter Topping: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the 1/2 tsp dried parsley and 1/4 tsp garlic powder. Brush this mixture generously over the top of the biscuit pieces.
Part 3: Bake to Perfection
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit “bubbles” are deep golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly around the edges.
- Rest and Serve: Let the casserole stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the creamy filling to thicken up slightly, making it easier to serve.
Tips for the Best Bubble Bake:
· Don’t Have Cream of Chicken? Cream of mushroom or celery soup works perfectly as a substitute.
· Add Some Herbs: Stir 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley or chives into the filling for a burst of fresh flavor.
· Make it “Everything” Style: For a fun twist, use one can of refrigerated crescent roll dough. Unroll the dough, press the perforations together, and cut it into squares with a pizza cutter. Toss the squares with the butter mixture and scatter them over the top.
· Check for Doneness: The best way to know the casserole is done is to check that the biscuits are cooked through in the center. You can pull one apart to make sure it’s not doughy inside.
· Make it Your Own:
· Add Bacon: Stir in 1/2 cup of cooked, crumbled bacon into the filling.
· Add Spinach: Add a couple of handfuls of fresh spinach to the skillet when you add the garlic and let it wilt before adding the other filling ingredients.
· Different Cheese: Try a Monterey Jack or a Colby Jack blend instead of cheddar.
This is the ultimate no-fuss, comfort-in-a-dish meal that everyone will love. Enjoy
