Ingredients Needed
- 1 stick (½ cup) butter, melted
- 4 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
- 1 (12 oz) bag frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 (11.36 oz) box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 (14.5 oz) can chicken broth (about 2 cups)
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
- Seasonings to taste (suggested: garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper)
Step 1Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13 baking dish, then pour ½ cup melted butter into the bottom and spread it evenly. Arrange the shredded chicken in a single layer over the butter.
Step 2Scatter the frozen mixed vegetables evenly over the chicken. Lightly season with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Avoid adding much extra salt since the other ingredients already contain sodium.
Step 3In a medium bowl, whisk the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix and its seasoning packet with 2 cups whole milk until combined. Pour this batter evenly over the frozen vegetables and chicken. Do not stir.
Step 4Whisk together the can of chicken broth and the cream of chicken soup in the same bowl until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the biscuit batter. Do not stir.
Step 5Bake uncovered on the center rack for 55–65 minutes, or until the top is a deep golden brown and the biscuit layer has risen. Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes so the sauce thickens before serving.
This casserole is like a deconstructed chicken pot pie: flaky, golden biscuit topping with creamy chicken and vegetables beneath. The Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix adds savory, buttery flavor and creates a beautiful crust. Together with the creamy soup and broth, it becomes a hearty, comforting meal that’s ideal for feeding a large family—especially when kids are picky.

Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13 baking dish.

Melt the butter and spread it evenly across the bottom of the dish.
-
Place shredded chicken in a single layer over the melted butter.
-

-
Bake uncovered for 55–65 minutes or until the top is deep golden brown and the biscuit layer is cooked through. Oven times vary—check early if needed.
-
Let the casserole rest about 10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken.
Notes
- Make it cheesy: Add 1–2 cups shredded cheddar over the vegetables before pouring the biscuit batter for an extra cheesy top.
- Allow the casserole to bake until a deep golden brown so the biscuit mix fully rises and cooks.
- Because several ingredients already include salt, taste and season sparingly to suit your family’s preferences.
- Swap the mixed vegetables for frozen broccoli or any favorite veggies you prefer.
- Rotisserie chicken adds convenience and flavor, but any cooked shredded or chopped chicken works well.
