Chicken Bacon Ranch Bubble Up Bake
If you have kids you can attest to the fact that you might spend quite a bit of your time in the car running kids around! Sometimes you might even feel like you live in the car! That is why I love easy casserole dishes like Ritz Chicken Casserole, Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole, and this Chicken Bacon Ranch Bubble Up Bake!
I have to say this dish is a new kid favorite in our home and I love it too! It takes very little prep to put it together, I can prepare it in the morning before the day gets busy, it is full of creamy delicious flavor, and my kids never complain about eating their broccoli when I make this dish!
It is an all-around win in our house and I am sure it will be in yours too!
How to make Chicken Bacon Ranch Bubble Up Bake
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. If using a baking pan (9×13), spray it with canola spray. I used my cast iron skillet to make this one-pot cooking.
- In your skillet, start cooking the bacon. Cook until crispy.
- Pour the grease out from your skillet.
- Over low/medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add in the flour and whisk to combine.
- Gradually add in the milk, continuing to whisk to combine and smooth out the flour.
- Bring to a simmer. Cook for a few minutes to allow to thicken.
- Add in the shredded cheese. Cook until melted.
- Add in the broccoli florets. Combine with the cheese mixture and allow to cook for a few minutes.
- *If using a regular skillet, pour the mixture into your baking pan. If using cast iron just continue on.
- Spread chicken over the top.
- Sprinkle ranch seasoning over the top evenly.
- Cut biscuits into 4 pieces each. Spread pieces evenly across the top. Brush melted butter over biscuit pieces.
- Sprinkle crumbled bacon over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 25 minutes.
Tips Tricks and FAQs
- You can easily omit the broccoli if you don’t have broccoli lovers in your house.
- If you are worried the dish might be too salty because of the ranch seasoning mix you can reduce the amount you add it just won’t have quite the flavor.
Storage
Fridge
Store your leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Make-Ahead
You can easily make this dish ahead of time! You can assemble this dish in the morning (excluding the biscuits) and cover and place it in the fridge until you are ready to bake that night. When you are ready to bake, pull out of the fridge while your oven is preheating, add the biscuits and bake according to the directions.
You can also freeze this dish prior to baking. Just assemble as you normally would then cover with plastic and then with foil to prevent freezer burn and freeze for up to 2 months. When you are ready to enjoy, thaw in the fridge overnight and then add the biscuits prior to baking.

Sounds delicious, but one question, I’m assuming the chicken gas been precooked ? If so, how did you cook it ? Thanks
Yes it was precooked, I will often just grab a rotisserie chicken or cook some chicken breasts or tender pieces in the oven,
