Cheddar Bay Chicken Bake
Description
The recipe begins by sautéing chicken breasts in olive oil until cooked through but still juicy. Meanwhile, a biscuit dough is prepared by mixing the cheddar bay biscuit mix with cold water, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions for added flavor and texture. The chicken is then placed atop marinara sauce spread in a baking dish, and the biscuit dough is spooned over to completely cover the chicken.
Baking at 400°F for 25 minutes forms a golden, cheesy crust on top. After baking, a combination of melted butter and the seasoning packet from the biscuit mix is brushed onto the crust to add moisture, flavor, and sheen. The dish is allowed to cool briefly before serving warm.
This casserole pairs well as a main dish, combining protein and a biscuit topping that offers a soft yet slightly crisp texture with cheesy notes and the freshness of green onions.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound chicken breast boneless skinless
- 1 box cheddar bay biscuit mix Red Lobster brand
- ¾ cup water cold
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- ½ cup green onions thinly sliced
- 12 ounces marinara sauce
- ½ cup butter melted
Instructions
- Place a skillet over medium heat and pour in the olive oil. Once hot, saute the chicken breasts for 8 minutes, flipping once, until no longer pink inside.
- Meanwhile, stir together the biscuit mix with water, cheddar cheese, and green onion in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Spray the inside of a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Spread the marinara sauce in the bottom of the dish, lay the chicken over the sauce, and then spoon the prepared biscuit mix over the chicken breasts. Use the back of a spoon to spread the biscuits to cover the chicken completely.
- Bake at 400 degrees F for 25 minutes, until the top of the biscuit layer is golden brown. Remove from the oven.
- Combine the melted butter and seasoning packet from the biscuit mix box in a small bowl. Then brush the butter over the top of the casserole. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving warm.
