Take-out Tuesday, Chicken, Bacon, Ranch, Green Bean Bubble-up

the Painted Apron

3 years ago

We have been having a lot of dreary, rainy weather

which always make me want a warm and cozy

casserole for dinner

This casserole is a bubble-up,

it’s loaded with chicken, green beans, bacon and cheese

in a creamy ranch sauce with biscuit pieces

Hard to resist!

Combine the sour cream with the Cream of Chicken soup

and Ranch seasoning in a large mixing bowl

and then mix in chopped cooked chicken

Stir in cheese and bacon pieces, reserving some bacon for garnish

Partially cook green beans in the microwave,

drain and add to chicken mixture

Transfer mixture to a large shallow casserole

At this point dish can be covered and refrigerated

for baking later if desired

Let casserole sit out for 30 minutes before baking if it has been refrigerated

Cut biscuits into 1/4s and tuck pieces evenly down into the chicken mixture

Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes until biscuit are golden

and chicken is bubbling

Garish with reserved bacon pieces

A green salad is a lovely accompaniment

I made this one with fresh baby spinach, romaine,

raw broccoli and cranberries

Enjoy!

Notes

*an easy way to cook boneless chicken is to put it in a sauce pan with enough chicken broth to cover. Bring to a boil then cover pan and turn burner off. Let chicken sit in the covered pan on the stove top for 30 minutes. Remove from broth and chop or shred. If chicken isn’t quite done, it will continue to cook when casserole is baked
