Time Needed

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 60 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
4 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works perfectly)
1 (12 oz) bag frozen mixed vegetables
1 (11.36 oz) box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (plus included seasoning packet)
2 cups whole milk
1 (14.5 oz) can chicken broth
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp black pepper

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the base Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease the sides of a 9×13-inch baking dish, then pour the melted butter evenly across the bottom.
Add chicken Spread the shredded rotisserie chicken evenly over the butter layer — this creates a rich base of flavor.
Layer the veggies Top the chicken with the frozen mixed vegetables, spreading them evenly. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Mix the biscuit layer In a bowl, whisk together the Red Lobster Biscuit Mix, seasoning packet, and milk until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the veggies. Do not stir.
Make the creamy sauce In the same bowl, whisk the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup together until smooth. Pour gently over the biscuit layer. Do not stir.
Bake to perfection Bake uncovered for 55–65 minutes, until the top is deep golden brown and bubbly. Let it rest 10 minutes before serving — this allows the creamy sauce to thicken beautifully.

Variations to Try

Cheesy Upgrade: Sprinkle shredded cheddar over the veggies before pouring the biscuit mix.
Veggie Swap: Try frozen broccoli or peas and carrots for a colorful twist.
Protein Change-Up: Swap chicken for leftover turkey or shredded roast beef.
Spicy Touch: Add a pinch of cayenne or top with jalapeño slices for a mild kick.

Tips from Chef Emma

Let the casserole rest before serving — it thickens as it cools.
Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time and boost flavor.
Don’t overmix the biscuit layer; pour and bake as directed for best texture.
If your family loves extra sauce, add ½ cup more broth before baking.
