Ingredients
Filling
- 3½ to 4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 20 ounces frozen mixed vegetables (corn, peas, and carrots)
- 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups chicken stock
- ½ teaspoon seasoned salt, Lowry’s brand
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Biscuit Topping
- 11.36 ounces Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix, and enclosed seasoning packet
- 2 cups whole milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (for biscuit topping and dish coating)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
- Butter the Dish: Pour the melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish and swirl it around until the entire bottom is coated evenly with butter. This adds flavor and helps prevent sticking.
- Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded rotisserie chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, chicken stock, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined to create a creamy filling mixture.
- Assemble Filling: Pour the prepared filling mixture into the buttered baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

- Top the Cobbler: Dollop the biscuit batter over the chicken and vegetable filling in spoonfuls, distributing evenly across the surface to cover most of the filling.
- Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 to 45 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through, and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this comforting savory chicken biscuit cobbler warm.
Notes
