Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies, drained

1 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)

1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

1 tsp ground cumin

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated flaky biscuit dough

2 tbsp olive oil (for greasing)

1 tbsp freshly chopped cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's ready for baking.

    Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, diced green chilies, sour cream, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well-integrated.

      Assemble the Bake: Take a 9x13-inch baking dish and lightly grease the bottom with olive oil. Spoon the chicken mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly to create a uniform layer.

        Prepare the Biscuits: Open the can of flaky biscuit dough and carefully cut each biscuit into quarters. You can do this with a knife or simply tear the dough with your hands for a more rustic look.

          Top with Biscuits: Evenly distribute the biscuit pieces over the chicken mixture in the baking dish. It’s okay if some overlap a little; the goal is to cover as much surface area as possible for a delicious biscuit topping.

            Bake the Casserole: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The casserole is ready when the biscuit topping appears golden brown and cooked through.

              Add Remaining Cheese: In the last 5 minutes of baking, take the dish out briefly and sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the biscuits. Return it to the oven for the cheese to melt and become bubbly.

                Serve and Garnish: Once it's baked, let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of color and flavor. Scoop portions onto plates, ensuring each serving includes both the creamy chicken filling and the delightful biscuit topping.

                    Presentation Tips: Serve the casserole hot from the oven in the baking dish for a family-style meal. For individual servings, plate the mixture with a portion of the biscuit topping and sprinkle with additional cilantro for a refreshing touch. Enjoy!
