Highlight
Chicken Bubble Biscuit Bake Casserole is everything I love about easy family meals—creamy filling, comforting flavors, and a golden biscuit topping that is pure joy. On Sunday evenings—especially when everyone craves something cozy and effortless—this casserole is always the solution.
I remember making this when my kids had a dozen friends over one stormy afternoon. We all piled around the table and there was not a crumb left. It brings everyone together without stress.
Gather Your Ingredients
- Cooked chicken: two cups, use rotisserie for extra flavor and juicy texture
- Cream of chicken soup: one can, either classic or swap in cream of mushroom for a twist, seek a low sodium option for balance
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt: half a cup, adds tang and creaminess, choose full fat for richer results
- Milk: half a cup, helps blend everything smoothly, go for whole or two percent
- Frozen mixed vegetables: one cup, peas, carrots, and corn add color and nutrients, select a bright mix with no freezer burn
- Garlic powder: one teaspoon, brings savory warmth, ensure it smells fragrant and fresh
- Onion powder: half a teaspoon, deepens taste, always check for freshness, no clumps
- Salt and pepper: use to taste, season lightly until perfectly balanced
- Refrigerated biscuit dough: one sixteen ounce can, cut into quarters for soft, puffy topping, opt for classic southern style brands
- Shredded cheese: one cup, cheddar or mozzarella melts beautifully, sharp cheddar brings a pop
- Melted butter: one tablespoon for brushing, optional, gives a glossy golden finish
How to Make It
- Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to three hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a nine by thirteen inch baking dish for easy clean up
- Mix the Filling:
- In a large bowl vigorously stir together the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, vegetables, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until completely blended and creamy
- Add the Biscuits:
- Gently fold in the biscuit dough quarters so every piece is coated with the creamy mixture without breaking up the dough
- Assemble the Casserole:
- Carefully spoon the entire mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly, then sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly across the top
- Bake Covered:
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for twenty minutes to gently cook and steam the biscuits for tenderness
- Bake Uncovered:
- Remove the foil and continue baking for about ten to fifteen minutes more until the biscuits rise and become golden brown at the edges, check one with a fork to ensure it is cooked through
- Finish and Serve:
- If you love a shiny finish, brush the tops with melted butter after baking, then let the casserole cool for at least five minutes before serving so it is easy to cut and enjoy
My go to ingredient in this recipe is the biscuit dough. The way it puffs and soaks up the creamy chicken filling never fails to impress my family. Once my youngest tried to sneak extra cheese between the bubbles and it became our new tradition.
Flavor Boosters
Sprinkle a dash of paprika over the cheese before baking for smoky color, or try using sharp cheddar for more tang. Homemade cooked chicken gives a depth of flavor and lets you control sodium, while a brush of melted butter after baking creates a glossy, golden top.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with a crisp salad to balance the richness or a pot of steamed green beans. A light fruit dessert like fresh berries makes a refreshing finish for this hearty meal.
Creative Twists
Shredded turkey works well in place of chicken, and you can swap cream of mushroom or celery soup for a new flavor profile. For dairy sensitivities, use lactose free yogurt and plant based cheese. Try adding leftover roasted vegetables for seasonal changes.
This casserole is a favorite for gatherings—no matter how many people show up there are never leftovers. A quick rest before serving makes every bite creamy and easy to cut.
