- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 3: Add the Biscuits
Separate the biscuit dough and arrange the biscuits in a single layer on top of the chicken mixture.
