Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or any deep casserole dish. This will help prevent sticking and ensure even baking.Step 2: Combine the Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well until you have a creamy, consistent mixture.Step 3: Fold in the Biscuit Dough
Cut each biscuit into four equal pieces. Gently fold the biscuit chunks into the creamy chicken mixture, making sure each piece is coated.Step 4: Add the Cheese
Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. This will melt into the mixture during baking and provide extra creaminess. Reserve the remaining 1/2 cup for the topping.Step 5: Transfer to the Baking Dish
Pour the mixture into your prepared dish. Spread evenly using a spoon or spatula.Step 6: Bake Until Bubbly
Place the casserole in the oven and bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes or until the biscuits are golden on top and cooked through.Step 7: Add Final Cheese and Broil
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and place the dish under the broiler for 2–3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.Step 8: Serve and Enjoy
