Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuits, 16.3 oz
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix, 1 oz
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 green onions, sliced, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Cut each refrigerated biscuit into 4-6 bite-sized pieces and set them aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, ranch dressing, ranch seasoning mix, and milk. Stir until the ingredients are well blended and the mixture is mostly smooth. A few small lumps of cream cheese are fine.
  • Add the chicken, crumbled bacon, and I cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the chicken and bacon are evenly distributed and coated with the ranch mixture.
  • Add the cut biscuits to the bowl and gently stir until each piece is coated. Transfer everything to your prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
  • Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes. The casserole is ready when the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked in the center, the cheese has melted, and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
  • Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to sit for about 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and a little extra crumbled bacon, if you like.

Notes

 
  • Storing leftovers: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2–3 days.
  • Rotisserie chicken: Shredded rotisserie chicken saves time and makes prep easier.
  • Cut biscuits evenly: Keep the biscuit pieces small and similar in size so they cook evenly.
  • Different cheese options: Use cheddar, Colby Jack, Monterey Jack, or a combination of your favorites.
  • Prevent over-browning: If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil and continue baking.
  • Make ahead: Prepare the chicken, bacon, and ranch mixture a day ahead. Refrigerate separately and add the biscuits just before baking.
  • Check for doneness: Cut into a biscuit piece in the center. If it's still doughy, bake for another 5-10 minutes until fully cooked.
