| Cream of chicken soup | 2 cans (10.5 oz each) | Undiluted |

Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2️⃣ Prepare the Chicken Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the following:
3 cups cooked, chopped chicken
2 cans of cream of chicken soup (undiluted)
1½ cups sour cream
1 cup grated cheese
2 tablespoons ranch dressing mix
¼ cup cooked and chopped bacon
Mix everything thoroughly until it’s fully combined and creamy.
Tip: For extra flavor, add a pinch of black pepper or garlic powder.
3️⃣ Cut the Biscuits
Open the can of Grands Jr biscuits.
Using a sharp knife or clean kitchen scissors, cut each biscuit into 4 pieces (quarters).
Toss all the biscuit pieces into the bowl with the chicken mixture.
Gently stir until biscuit pieces are fully coated and evenly mixed in.
Be gentle when stirring to avoid breaking up the biscuit dough too much.
4️⃣ Assemble the Casserole
Pour the entire mixture into your prepared baking dish.
Use a spoon or spatula to spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of grated cheese evenly over the top.
5️⃣ Bake
Place the dish in the preheated oven.
Bake for 25–35 minutes, or until:
The casserole is bubbling around the edges
The biscuit pieces are golden brown and cooked through
The cheese on top is melted and lightly browned
Oven times may vary — check doneness by gently inserting a knife into the center to ensure biscuits are cooked and not doughy.
6️⃣ Cool and Serve
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps it firm up slightly and makes scooping easier.
Serve warm with a side salad, steamed veggies, or just on its own!
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 325°F (165°C) for 10–15 minutes or microwave individual portions for 1–2 minutes until hot.
Optional Add-Ins:
Corn kernels
Sautéed onions
Diced green chilies or jalapeños (for a kick)
Garlic powder or paprika for more seasoning
