Frequently asked questions (FAQ’s)
Absolutely! Leftover grilled or baked chicken works just as well as rotisserie. Just shred or dice it and mix it right in.
Nope! The biscuit dough goes in raw and bakes up golden and fluffy right in the casserole. It "bubbles up" as it cooks—hence the name!
Pop a slice in the microwave or warm it in the oven at 325°F until heated through. It reheats great!
Deb’s top tips
For extra flavor in every bite, let the cooked chicken sit in the sauce mixture for 10–15 minutes before adding the biscuit dough. It’s like a little flavor spa—worth the wait!
