Ingredients
Scale
Base
- ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 (10-oz) bag frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
Biscuit Topping
- 1 (11.36-oz) box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (includes seasoning packet)
- 2 cups milk
Gravy
- 1 (10.5-oz) can cream of chicken soup (unsalted recommended)
- 2 cups chicken broth
Garnish
- Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Layer Butter and Chicken: Pour the melted butter into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Then, spread the shredded cooked chicken evenly on top of the butter layer.
- Add Vegetables: Top the shredded chicken with the frozen mixed vegetables. There’s no need to thaw them first as they will cook in the oven.
- Prepare Biscuit Topping: In a bowl, whisk together the Cheddar Bay biscuit mix, the included seasoning packet, and the milk until smooth to form the biscuit batter. Gently pour this mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetable layers. Do not stir; let it sit on top.
- Make Gravy: Using the same bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth until well combined. Pour this mixture carefully over the biscuit layer, ensuring it covers evenly without stirring.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 45–55 minutes. The top should turn golden brown and be just slightly jiggly in the center when done.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from oven and let the dish rest for 10–15 minutes to allow the gravy sauce to thicken. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- Add shredded cheddar cheese on top before baking for an extra cheesy crust.
- Incorporate garlic powder or paprika into the biscuit mix for additional flavor.
- For a veggie-free version, increase the chicken quantity or add mushrooms instead of vegetables.
- To make gluten-free, substitute the biscuit mix and cream of chicken soup with certified gluten-free alternatives.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
- Reheat leftovers in a 350°F oven until warmed through or use a microwave for individual portions.
