Ingredient Notes:
What You’ll Need & Why It Works
- Cooked Chicken (3 cups) – Rotisserie chicken works wonders, but canned chicken or leftovers? Totally fair game.
- Cream of Chicken Soup (2 cans) – This gives it that ultra-creamy, cozy texture.
- Sour Cream (1½ cups) – A little tang to balance out all the richness.
- Cheese (1 cup in the mix + 1 cup on top) – Because more cheese is always a good idea.
- Ranch Dressing Mix (2 tbsp) – A little packet of magic. You could skip it, but why would you?
- Cooked Bacon (¼ cup, chopped) – Smoky, crispy, and completely necessary.
- Grands Jr Biscuits (12 oz can) – These little guys puff up into golden, buttery bites of heaven.
How To Make Chicken Bubble Biscuit Bake Casserole?
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Mix Up the Creamy Goodness
In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 cup of cheese, Ranch dressing mix, and bacon. Stir it all together until it looks thick and delicious.
Step 3: Add the Biscuits
Take your Grands Jr Biscuits and cut them into quarters. Gently fold them into the creamy mixture, making sure every piece is coated. This is the key to getting those fluffy, golden biscuit pockets in every bite.
Step 4: Assemble & Bake
Pour the biscuit-chicken mixture into your greased baking dish and spread it out evenly. Top it with the remaining 1 cup of cheese for an extra cheesy finish.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use a different type of biscuit?
Yep! If you can’t find Grands Jr Biscuits, just use any refrigerated biscuit dough and cut them into small pieces.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! Assemble everything, cover it tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
What’s the best cheese to use?
Cheddar is classic, but a mozzarella-cheddar mix gives it the best melty texture. Want a little spice? Pepper Jack is amazing too!
