Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 can (10.75 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Topping
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuits
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take a 9×13 inch baking dish and grease it thoroughly to prevent sticking. This preparation ensures even cooking and easy serving once the casserole is done.
- Create the Creamy Base
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and evenly distributed, forming a creamy, consistent mixture.
- Prepare the Biscuits
- Take the refrigerated biscuits and cut each one into quarters. Gently fold these biscuit pieces into the chicken mixture, being careful not to overmix or break them down too much. The biscuits should be coated but still maintain their shape.
- Assemble the Casserole
- Transfer the entire mixture to your greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Pour the melted butter uniformly over the top of the casserole. This will help the biscuits achieve a golden, crispy exterior while baking.
- Bake to Perfection
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The casserole is done when the top is golden brown and the biscuits are completely cooked through. You can test by inserting a toothpick into a biscuit piece – it should come out clean.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add 1/2 cup of diced onions and 1/2 cup of diced celery sautéed in butter.
- You can substitute rotisserie chicken for quick preparation.
- Add frozen mixed vegetables (1 cup) for a complete one-dish meal.
- This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking.
- Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and can be reheated in the microwave.
