Ingredients
Scale
Butter
- ½ cup butter (1 stick), melted
Chicken and Vegetables
- 4 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie recommended)
- 1 (12 oz) bag frozen mixed vegetables
Biscuit Mix and Dairy
- 1 (11.36 oz) box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
- 2 cups whole milk
Soups and Broth
- 1 (14.5 oz) can chicken broth (about 2 cups)
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
Seasonings
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Onion powder, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prep the Oven and Dish: Preheat your oven to 375° F (190° C). Grease the sides of a large 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to ensure the casserole doesn’t stick.
- Spread Melted Butter: Melt the ½ cup of butter completely and pour it evenly onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a rich base layer for the casserole.
- Layer the Chicken: Evenly spread the 4 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken in a single layer over the melted butter in the dish. This forms the protein-packed foundation of the casserole.
- Add Vegetables and Seasonings: Distribute the frozen mixed vegetables evenly over the chicken layer. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to taste over the veggies. Avoid adding extra salt as the dish contains salty ingredients.
- Prepare Biscuit Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of whole milk, the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix, and the seasoning packet included with the biscuit mix until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables, but do not stir to allow the biscuit topping to form properly.
- Combine Soup and Broth: In the same bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup with the can of chicken broth until fully combined. Pour this liquid mixture evenly over the biscuit mix layer. Do not stir, ensuring distinct layers in the casserole.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the dish uncovered on the center rack of the oven. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, until the biscuit topping is a deep golden brown and cooked through. Cooking times may vary, so start checking at about 55 minutes.
- Rest Before Serving: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the sauce to thicken and the layers to set for easier serving.
Notes
- For a cheesier casserole, sprinkle 1-2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the frozen vegetables before pouring the biscuit mix on top.
- Allow the biscuit topping to fully rise and develop a dark golden brown color for the best texture and flavor.
- Since the recipe includes salty ingredients like biscuit mix and soup, limit extra salt to suit your taste.
- Frozen broccoli or other favorite vegetables can be substituted for the mixed vegetables for a customized dish.
- Resting time is necessary to allow the casserole sauce to thicken and enhance flavor.
