What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
1 (12-16 oz) bag frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/4 cup milk or heavy cream
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (plus the butter it calls for)
Optional:
Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish
A pinch of garlic powder for the filling if you like extra flavor
How To Make Chicken Pot Pie Bake with Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
Start by removing the meat from a rotisserie chicken and shredding it into bite-sized pieces. Place the shredded chicken in a large mixing bowl.
Add in the frozen veggies (no need to thaw), two cans of cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and the milk or cream. Stir until everything is thoroughly combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. For extra depth, you can add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder.
Step 2: Pour the Filling into a Baking Dish
Pour the creamy chicken and vegetable mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 3: Prepare the Biscuit Topping
In a separate bowl, prepare the Cheddar Bay Biscuit dough according to the box directions. Typically, you’ll mix the biscuit mix with shredded cheddar cheese and water until combined. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the chicken filling, spacing them slightly apart. They’ll puff up and spread as they bake.
Step 4: Bake It All Together
Bake the casserole in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and baked through. If the tops start to brown too quickly, you can loosely cover the dish with foil.
Step 5: Add the Garlic Butter Topping
While the casserole is baking, melt the butter packet included in the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix and add any additional herbs you like. Once the bake comes out of the oven, brush the tops of the biscuits with the garlic herb butter. This gives them that signature restaurant-style finish.
Step 6: Let Rest and Serve
Allow the dish to rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme if desired. Scoop into bowls and enjoy that creamy filling paired with those buttery biscuits!
Tips + Tricks for Recipe Success
Use Leftovers: Got leftover turkey or roast chicken? Use it instead of rotisserie chicken.
Vegetable Swap: You can use canned veggies or fresh sautéed vegetables if you prefer.
Creamier Option: Add an extra splash of cream or a handful of shredded cheese into the filling for a richer base.
Spice It Up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper, paprika, or a few dashes of hot sauce for a little heat.
Make-Ahead Tip: You can prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Assemble the biscuit topping just before baking.
Serving Suggestions
This dish is filling on its own, but it pairs well with:
A light side salad with vinaigrette
Roasted or steamed green beans
A glass of iced tea or lemonade for a refreshing contrast
Warm apple pie or peach cobbler for dessert
Storing & Reheating
To Store: Let the bake cool completely, then cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
To Reheat: Microwave individual servings or pop the dish back into a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes, covered, until heated through.
To Freeze: You can freeze the chicken filling separately in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. When ready to bake, thaw in the refrigerator overnight, pour into a baking dish, top with biscuit dough, and bake as directed.
