Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter (4 tablespoons)
  • 4 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken preferred)
  • 1 (12 ounce) bag frozen mixed vegetables

Biscuit Topping

  • 1 (11.36 ounce) box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • Seasoning packet included in biscuit mix

Sauce

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • Seasonings to taste (suggested: garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper; use salt sparingly)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease the sides of a large 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Butter and Coat Dish: Melt 1 stick of butter and spread it evenly onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create a flavorful base layer.
  3. Add Chicken Layer: Spread 4 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken in a single layer over the melted butter, ensuring even coverage.
  4. Add Vegetables and Seasoning: Evenly distribute the 12-ounce bag of frozen mixed vegetables over the chicken. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to taste; use salt sparingly to avoid over-seasoning.
  5. Prepare Biscuit Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the entire box of Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix, the seasoning packet from the mix, and 2 cups of whole milk until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables without stirring.
  6. Prepare and Add Sauce: In the same bowl, whisk together the can of cream of chicken soup and the 14.5-ounce can of chicken broth until well combined. Carefully pour this sauce over the biscuit mixture in the baking dish. Do not stir.
  7. Bake the Casserole: Place the baking dish uncovered on the center rack of the oven. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes until the biscuit topping is deep golden brown, checking earlier as ovens may vary.
  8. Rest Before Serving: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the sauce to thicken for better serving consistency.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and enhanced flavor, but any cooked shredded chicken works.
  • Do not stir after pouring the biscuit mix and sauce layers to keep the cobbler texture intact.
  • Adjust seasonings according to taste, especially salt, to avoid over-seasoning due to the soup and broth.
  • Letting the casserole rest before serving helps the sauce thicken and improves slicing and serving.
  • Ensure the biscuit topping reaches a deep golden color before removing from the oven, as this indicates doneness.
  • Vegetables can be substituted with fresh or other frozen blends based on preference.
