1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup green onions, sliced
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
1/4 cup milk
Instructions

2. Cut each biscuit into quarters and spread them in the bottom of the dish.
3. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, milk, and ranch seasoning until smooth.
4. Stir in the shredded chicken and 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
5. Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces.
6. Sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup cheddar cheese over the top.
7. Add the crumbled bacon and green onions.
8. Bake for 35–40 minutes until bubbly and biscuits are golden brown.

Notes
Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing.
Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for a time-saving shortcut.
Let the casserole rest before serving so the cheese sets slightly.
