📖 Instructions

1. Prep the chicken: If you're starting with raw chicken, boil or bake about 1.5 lbs (0.68 kg) of chicken breasts until cooked through. Let it cool slightly, then shred it using two forks or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. If using leftover cooked chicken, simply shred it. Aim for about 3 cups of shredded chicken. This is a super important step for getting that perfect texture later on.
2. Cut the biscuit dough: Open your cans of refrigerated biscuit dough. On a clean cutting board, cut each biscuit into 4 equal pieces. Don't worry about perfection here; rustic cuts are totally fine! Place the cut biscuit pieces in a very large mixing bowl.
3. Make the buffalo sauce: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the buffalo hot sauce and the ranch or blue cheese dressing. Whisk until it's well combined and slightly warmed through. Remove from heat. This sauce is the heart of our flavor, so make sure it's lovely and smooth.
4. Combine ingredients: Add the shredded chicken to the bowl with the biscuit pieces. Pour the buffalo sauce mixture over the chicken and biscuit dough. Add about 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella and 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl.
5. Mix it all up: Using your hands (gloves are a good idea if you want to avoid sticky, spicy fingers!), gently toss all the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated. Make sure every piece of biscuit and chicken gets some of that delicious sauce and cheese. Be careful not to mash the biscuits too much.
6. Prepare for baking: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grab a 9x13 inch baking dish and spray it thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray. This is crucial for easy removal and serving later.
7. Arrange in the dish: Transfer the buffalo chicken and biscuit mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly, but don't press it down too tightly. You want those individual pieces to have room to puff up and get golden.
8. Add more cheese: Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella and 0.5 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture in the baking dish. This creates that irresistible golden, bubbly crust.
9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown, cooked through, and the cheese is melted and bubbly. If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent it with foil. This ensures the inside bakes properly without burning the cheese.
10. Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven. Let it cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the cheese to set slightly and makes it easier to pull apart. Serve warm, perhaps with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping. Dig in and enjoy! It's gonna be messy, but that's part of the fun!
