FAQ's

Deb's tips

• If you can't find Pillsbury Grands Biscuits, you can use the smaller biscuits, but you will need to use more of them and only cut them into quarters instead of eighths. 
• This recipe is the perfect way to use leftover rotisserie chicken, but you can use poached boneless skinless chicken breasts if you don't have some leftover cooked chicken on hand. 
• Garnish this casserole with sliced green onions, a sprinkle of fresh parsley, or a dollop of sour cream. 
• Make sure you spray your large casserole dish well with nonstick cooking spray or grease it with butter instead. This helps with easy clean-up. 

Variations

• You can change up the cheese in this casserole, shredded cheddar cheese, a Mexican blend, or a combination of any of your favorite cheeses. 
• If you want to add more flavor to your casserole, add a dash of garlic powder, onion powder, ranch dressing mix, salt, and pepper to the chicken and biscuit mixture. 
• Change up the heat level of this casserole by using a spicy bbq sauce or adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture.
