Servings: 8
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30–35 minutes
Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped, rotisserie works great)
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 can (16 oz / 450 g) refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into quarters
1 cup ranch dressing
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish.
Prepare the base:
In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, and ranch dressing. Mix until everything is well coated.
Add the biscuits:
Cut the biscuit dough into small pieces and gently fold them into the chicken mixture.
Assemble the casserole:
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top.
Bake:
Place in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed up and golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve hot:
Let it cool slightly before serving so it sets a bit. Enjoy straight from the dish for the best texture and flavor.
