Ingredients

For the chicken casserole:

• 2 lbs (900 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

• 1 cup chicken broth

• 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

• ½ cup cooked bacon bits, crumbled

• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning

• ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste

For the biscuit topping:

• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)

• ½ cup additional shredded cheddar cheese

• 2 tablespoons melted butter

• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the chicken

Cut chicken breasts into evenly sized bite-sized pieces. Pat dry and place them in the slow cooker.

Step 2: Add seasonings

Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, ranch seasoning, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt over the chicken. Mix gently.

Step 3: Add the cheese and bacon

Add shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and cooked bacon bits. Pour in the chicken broth and stir everything together.

Step 4: Slow cook

Cover and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Cooking time depends on the size of the chicken pieces and your slow cooker.

Step 5: Prepare the biscuits

Cut refrigerated biscuit dough into quarters. Arrange the biscuit pieces over the cooked chicken mixture in an even layer.

Step 6: Cook the biscuit topping

Cover and cook on HIGH for approximately 45–75 minutes, checking that the biscuit pieces are fully cooked in the center. Avoid lifting the lid unnecessarily.

Step 7: Add the finishing touches

Brush the cooked biscuits with melted butter mixed with garlic powder. Sprinkle additional cheddar cheese and fresh parsley over the top.

Step 8: Serve

Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes. Spoon the creamy chicken, bacon, cheese, and golden biscuits into bowls. Serve warm!
