Ingredients
Scale
Butter and Chicken
- 1 stick (½ cup) butter, melted
- 4 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie preferred)
Vegetables
- 1 (12 ounce) bag frozen mixed vegetables
Biscuit Topping
- 1 (11.36 ounce) box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
- 1 seasoning packet from the biscuit mix
- 2 cups whole milk
Sauces and Broth
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth (about 2 cups)
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
Seasonings
- Garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to taste (go easy on salt)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease the sides of a large 9×13 inch baking dish carefully. Melt the butter and pour ½ cup evenly onto the bottom of the baking dish to form a buttery base.
- Layer the Chicken: Spread the 4 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken in a single layer over the melted butter in the dish, ensuring even coverage for a solid foundation.
- Add Vegetables and Seasoning: Evenly distribute the bag of frozen mixed vegetables over the chicken layer. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper over the veggies. Avoid adding much salt, as other ingredients already contain sodium.
- Prepare Biscuit Mix: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix with the included seasoning packet and 2 cups of whole milk until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the frozen vegetables—do not stir or mix layers.
- Mix Soup and Broth: Using the same bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and the chicken broth until fully combined. Carefully pour this mixture evenly over the biscuit topping layer without stirring.
- Bake: Place the casserole uncovered in the center rack of your preheated oven. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until the biscuit topping is deep golden brown and fully cooked. The baking time may vary depending on your oven, so check early and adjust if necessary.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This resting time allows the sauce to thicken, making serving easier and enhancing the flavors.
Notes
- To make it extra cheesy, sprinkle 1-2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the frozen vegetables before pouring the biscuit mix on top.
- Allow the casserole to bake fully until the biscuit mix reaches a dark golden brown for best texture and flavor.
- Since several ingredients contain salt, use seasonings sparingly based on your family’s taste preferences.
- Frozen broccoli or any favorite vegetables can be substituted for the mixed veggies for a customized twist.
- Rotisserie chicken is recommended for ease and flavor, but any cooked shredded or chopped chicken works well.
