Ingredients
Scale
Butter Layer
- ½ cup butter (1 stick, melted)
Chicken and Vegetables
- 4 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie recommended)
- 1 (12oz) bag frozen mixed vegetables
- Seasoning to taste (garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper)
Biscuit Mixture
- 1 (11.36oz) box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
- 2 cups whole milk
- Seasoning packet from biscuit mix
Sauce
- 1 (14.5oz) can chicken broth (about 2 cups)
- 1 (10.5oz) can cream of chicken soup
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375° F. Grease the sides of a large 9×13 baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Melt Butter: Melt the ½ cup butter and spread it evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a flavorful base layer.
- Layer Chicken: Spread 4 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken in a single layer evenly over the melted butter at the bottom of the dish.
- Add Vegetables and Seasoning: Distribute the frozen mixed vegetables evenly over the chicken layer. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper over the vegetables to season. Use minimal additional salt to keep flavors balanced.
- Prepare Biscuit Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole milk, the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix, and the seasoning packet from the biscuit mix until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables in the baking dish. Do not stir, to keep clear layers.
- Prepare Sauce Layer: Using the same bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the biscuit topping layer. Again, do not stir.
- Bake: Place the casserole uncovered on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the top is a deep golden brown. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your oven, so checking early is advised.
- Rest Before Serving: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for approximately 10 minutes. This allows the sauce to thicken and the casserole to set for easier serving.
Notes
- For best texture, do not stir after adding the biscuit and sauce layers to maintain distinct layers and optimal rise of the biscuit topping.
- Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds flavor, but cooked shredded chicken from scratch will also work.
- You can substitute mixed vegetables according to preference, but frozen veggies help keep it easy and tasty.
- Keep an eye on the casserole towards the end of baking to avoid over-browning.
- Letting the casserole rest after baking is essential for proper sauce thickness and improves slicing consistency.
