Red Lobster-Inspired Chicken Biscuit Pot Pie Recipe

Introduction

This Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie combines savory chicken filling with fluffy, garlicky biscuit topping for a comforting twist on a classic. It’s an easy, crowd-pleasing meal perfect for cozy dinners.

A white plate holds a large, golden brown biscuit on top, sprinkled with small green herb pieces. Underneath and around the biscuit lies a creamy mixture with visible chunks of shredded chicken, bright orange carrot slices, and green peas, all coated in a thick, pale sauce. The biscuit’s layers are soft and flaky, showing some light cabinet-like cracks, contrasting with the smooth, hearty stew beneath. The background shows another biscuit on a white plate, softly blurred, with a white marbled texture surface below everything. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked chicken, diced (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
  • 1 cup cream of chicken soup
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for filling and biscuit topping)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder (for the biscuit topping)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  3. Step 3: Transfer the filling to your casserole or pie dish, spreading it evenly.
  4. Step 4: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt for the biscuit topping. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Step 5: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder. Gradually add the milk, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Step 6: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the chicken filling, making sure to cover it evenly.
  7. Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Step 8: Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add fresh herbs like thyme or parsley to the filling.
  • Use leftover turkey or cooked pork instead of chicken for a different twist.
  • To make the biscuits lighter, avoid overmixing the dough.
  • For a creamier filling, stir in a splash of heavy cream or sour cream.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat covered in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through to keep the biscuit topping from drying out. This pie can also be frozen; thaw completely before reheating.

How to Serve

A white plate with a light-colored rim holds a serving of chicken pot pie with two distinct layers: the top layer is a golden-brown, flaky biscuit crust sprinkled with small green herb pieces, while the bottom layer is a creamy mixture of shredded chicken, bright orange chunks of carrot, green peas, and bits of red pepper, all coated in a thick sauce. The dish's textures and colors are warm and inviting, set against a soft-focus background with a white marbled surface visible. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
