Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 (16 oz) can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with buffalo sauce, ensuring the chicken is thoroughly coated and evenly mixed.
- Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors.
- Gently fold the biscuit dough quarters into the buffalo chicken mixture, making sure each piece is lightly coated.
- Transfer the chicken and biscuit mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit pieces are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for 5 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.
- Drizzle ranch dressing over the top of the baked dish.
- Garnish with chopped green onions for added freshness and flavor.
- Serve hot and enjoy your Buffalo Chicken Bubble Up directly from the baking dish.
Tips
- For the most tender and flavorful chicken, use rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken breasts.
- Adjust the buffalo sauce quantity to control the heat level—add more for extra spice or less for a milder version.
- Make sure to cut biscuit dough into even quarters to ensure uniform cooking and texture.
- Use a non-stick baking dish or generously spray your pan to prevent sticking.
- Let the dish rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow the cheese to set and make serving easier.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat cheese and a reduced-fat ranch dressing.
- Garnish with fresh green onions just before serving to add a pop of color and fresh flavor.
- This dish is best served immediately while the cheese is still melted and biscuits are crispy.
