Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Grease your baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2: Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, frozen vegetables, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, and seasonings. Stir until everything is evenly coated and creamy.
If you’re adding cheese, stir it in now.
Step 3: Transfer to Baking Dish
Spread the filling evenly into the prepared baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 4: Prepare the Biscuit Topping
Cut each biscuit into quarters and toss them in melted butter (add a sprinkle of garlic powder if you like!).
Arrange the biscuit pieces evenly over the filling — they’ll puff up beautifully as they bake.
Step 5: Bake Until Golden
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color — then dig in!
What to Serve With Chicken Bubble Biscuit Bake
It’s a meal on its own, but it pairs beautifully with:
- A crisp green salad or roasted vegetables
- Mashed potatoes or rice pilaf for extra heartiness
- Sweet tea or lemonade for that Southern-style comfort vibe
Tips for Perfect Results
- Cut the biscuits small — they cook faster and bubble evenly.
- Don’t overbake — remove when the biscuits are golden and fluffy.
- Add cheese under the biscuit layer for a melty surprise.
- Use fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for added brightness.
Storage & Reheating
- Fridge: Store leftovers covered up to 3 days.
- Freezer: Freeze baked casserole (cooled) up to 2 months.
- Reheat: Bake at 350°F for 15–20 minutes or microwave individual portions until hot.
Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use homemade biscuit dough?
Definitely! Just cut it into small pieces and use in place of the refrigerated dough.
