Scale
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup butter (1 stick melted)
- 4 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie recommended)
- 1 (12oz) bag frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 (11.36oz) box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 (14.5oz) can chicken broth (about 2 cups)
- 1 (10.5oz) can cream of chicken soup
Seasonings
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Onion powder, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare the baking dish: Preheat your oven to 375° F and grease the sides of a large 9×13 inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Melt and spread butter: Melt ½ cup of butter fully and pour it evenly on the bottom of the greased baking dish to create a rich base for the casserole.
- Layer chicken: Arrange 4 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken in a single layer directly over the melted butter to form the first layer of the casserole.
- Add frozen vegetables and seasonings: Evenly place a 12oz bag of frozen mixed vegetables over the chicken layer, then sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper over the vegetables according to your taste, but use little to no additional salt.
- Prepare biscuit batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole milk, the biscuit mix including its seasoning packet. Pour this mixture evenly over the layered chicken and vegetables without stirring, allowing it to soak into the ingredients below.
- Add cream soup and broth layer: In the same bowl, whisk together the 10.5oz can of cream of chicken soup and 14.5oz can of chicken broth. Pour this mixture evenly over the top of the biscuit batter layer, again without stirring.
- Bake the casserole: Place the dish uncovered on the middle rack of your oven and bake for 55 to 65 minutes. The casserole is ready when the biscuit topping is a deep golden brown. Check at 55 minutes to avoid overbaking.
- Rest and serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes. This resting period helps the sauce thicken and makes serving easier and less messy.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick, flavorful starting point.
- Do not stir after adding the biscuit mix and liquid layers to maintain proper layering and texture.
- Adjust seasonings carefully, especially salt, since the biscuit mix and soup broth can be salty.
- Check the casserole in the final minutes as oven temperatures vary.
- Let the dish rest before serving to allow flavors to meld and sauce to thicken.
