Ingredients

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1 (12 oz) bag frozen mixed vegetables
1 (11.36 oz) box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (with seasoning packet)
2 cups whole milk
1 (14.5 oz) can chicken broth
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp black pepper

Step-by-Step Instructions

Start with the butter Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish, then pour melted butter evenly across the bottom. This gives the casserole its rich, comforting base.
Layer the chicken Add shredded rotisserie chicken evenly over the butter. It’s juicy, flavorful, and saves you time in the kitchen.
Add the veggies Sprinkle the frozen mixed vegetables evenly over the chicken, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Mix the biscuit layer In a bowl, whisk together the Red Lobster Biscuit Mix, seasoning packet, and milk. Pour this mixture evenly over the veggies. Do not stir — trust the process!
Top with creamy sauce In the same bowl, whisk the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup until smooth. Pour gently over the biscuit mix. Again — do not stir. The magic happens as it bakes!
Bake until golden Place the dish uncovered in the oven and bake for 55–65 minutes, until the top is beautifully golden and the edges are bubbling. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Variations to Try

Cheesy Chicken Cobbler: Sprinkle shredded cheddar before baking for an extra-luscious crust.
Broccoli Bake: Use frozen broccoli florets instead of mixed veggies.
Turkey Twist: Swap the chicken for leftover holiday turkey — it’s just as cozy!
Loaded Cobbler: Add a handful of corn or peas for color and sweetness.

Tips from Chef Emma

Let the casserole rest before scooping — it thickens as it cools.
Don’t stir the layers; that’s what makes the cobbler rise beautifully.
If you love extra creamy casseroles, add ½ cup more broth.
Leftovers reheat wonderfully in the oven or air fryer.
