Directions to follow
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, 1/2 cup cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until blended.
- Open the can of Pillsbury Grands! and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters, or keep them whole for a fluffier topping.
- Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish and evenly spread it out.
- Place the biscuit pieces over the chicken mixture, making sure to cover it well.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese on top of the biscuits.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown, cooked through, and the filling is bubbling.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions before serving warm. This dish pairs beautifully with a side salad or steamed veggies for a complete meal.
Best ways to enjoy it
When it comes to serving your Savory Cheesy Chicken Biscuit Bake, presentation can elevate your dish. A sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or green onions not only adds color but also a fresh flavor punch. Pair it with a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables for a well-rounded meal. For those who enjoy multi-texture experiences, serve alongside crispy garlic bread or a side of sautéed spinach.
Storage and reheating tips
For those lucky enough to have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge, where they’ll last for about 3-4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or cover the entire dish with foil and warm in the oven until heated through. If you want to save it for longer, consider freezing it before baking. Just make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil, and it can last up to 2-3 months in the freezer.
Helpful cooking tips

- For a flavor boost, add a teaspoon of your favorite herbs such as thyme or rosemary.
- Adjust the creaminess by modulating the sour cream and milk ratio based on your preference.
- Create a crispy edge on the biscuits by brushing them with melted butter before baking.
