1. Prep & Preheat
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2. Make the Filling
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, bacon, ranch seasoning, and 1½ cups cheese.
- Spread evenly in the baking dish.
3. Add Biscuits
- Separate biscuits; place on top of filling in a single layer (they’ll expand!).
- Sprinkle remaining ½ cup cheese over biscuits.
4. Bake to Perfection
- Bake 22–28 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Let rest 5–10 minutes—filling thickens as it cools.
5. Serve Warm
- Scoop generous portions—biscuits will be fluffy, filling rich and creamy.
