Poppin' Garlic Ranch Biscuit Topped Chicken Pot Pie

**Recipe from Picky Palate **

* 4 large chicken breasts, cooked and shredded

* 1 packet dry Ranch Dressing Mix, reserve 1/2 teaspoon for topping
* 1/2 tsp. salt
* 1/4 tsp. fresh cracked black pepper
* 2 (10 oz.) cans cream of chicken soup
* 1 (10 oz.) can cheddar cheese soup
* 1 c. chicken broth
* 1 c. milk
* 2 (15 oz.) cans mixed veggies, drained
* 3/4 c. crumbled bacon pieces, already cooked
* 1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
* 1 (6 count) can homestyle refrigerated biscuits
* 1/2 tsp. garlic salt
* 1/2 tsp. reserved dry Ranch Dressing Mix
* 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
* hot sauce to top, if desired

Preheat oven to 350. Place shredded chicken into a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle in ranch mix (reserve 1/2 teaspoon for later), salt and pepper. Toss to combine seasonings. In a large rimmed skillet or dutch oven, place soups, broth and milk over medium heat; whisk until combined. Stir in mixed veggies then shredded chicken. Transfer to a large 9×13 inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle bacon and cheese over top. Open biscuits and place onto wax paper. Cut each biscuit into 10 little triangle pieces (cut biscuit in half then cut each half into fifths). Place little pieces of biscuit over top of chicken mixture until it’s all covered. Sprinkle biscuits with remaining ranch dressing mix, garlic salt and 1/2 Cup cheese. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until golden brown and biscuits are cooked through underneath. Cover with foil the last 25 minutes of baking to prevent too much browning. Let cool for 10 minutes then serve. Serve with hot sauce if you like it spicy!
