Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (300 g) chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 1 ½ cups (150 g) cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
- 1 can (10.5 oz or 300 g) cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup (120 ml) sour cream
- ¼ cup (60 ml) milk
- 1 can (16 oz or 450 g) biscuit dough, refrigerated, each biscuit cut into quarters
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Preheat the oven to 375F (190C) and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Chicken Preparation: Dice the cooked chicken into uniform bite-sized pieces, ensuring consistent texture and even heating throughout the dish.
- Creamy Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, blend the shredded chicken with cream cheese, creating a smooth and rich base for the casserole.
- Flavor Infusion: Gently fold buffalo sauce and ranch dressing into the chicken mixture, distributing the tangy and zesty flavors evenly.
- Biscuit Foundation: Separate and flatten the refrigerated biscuit dough pieces, creating a pliable base layer in the greased baking dish.
- Layering: Spread the seasoned chicken mixture across the biscuit layer, ensuring complete and even coverage, then top generously with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Baking Process: Place the assembled casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the biscuit dough turns golden brown and the cheese melts completely.
- Serving Preparation: Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes, enabling the ingredients to set and making it easier to serve.
Notes
- Uniform Chicken Cutting: Dice chicken pieces precisely to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the casserole.
- Cheese Softening Technique: Let cream cheese sit at room temperature briefly to achieve smoother blending and more even distribution in the mixture.
- Biscuit Dough Handling: Gently stretch and flatten biscuit pieces to create a more flexible base that absorbs flavors better and provides a more uniform layer.
- Cheese Melting Tip: Use freshly shredded cheddar for optimal melting and avoid pre-shredded cheese, which often contains anti-caking agents that prevent smooth melting.
