Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 (10.5 oz / 298 g) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup (240 ml) frozen mixed vegetables
- 2 cups (480 ml) chicken broth
- 1/2 cup (120 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package (11.36 oz / 322 g) Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375F (190C) and coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Combine shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, frozen mixed vegetables, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt directly in the prepared baking dish, mixing thoroughly to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Create the biscuit topping by blending the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix with milk and shredded cheddar cheese until a smooth, slightly lumpy batter forms.
- Gently spread the cheesy biscuit mixture across the entire surface of the chicken and vegetable base, ensuring complete coverage.
- Drizzle melted butter generously over the biscuit layer, allowing it to seep into the crevices and edges.
- Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown crust and bubbling edges that indicate the casserole is fully cooked.
- Remove from oven and allow the cobbler to rest for 10 minutes, which helps the filling set and makes serving easier.
Notes
- Swap frozen veggies with fresh seasonal produce for a vibrant, nutrient-packed twist on the classic recipe.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium cream of chicken soup and controlling salt quantities for heart-conscious diners.
- For gluten-free options, substitute regular biscuit mix with gluten-free alternatives like Bob’s Red Mill or homemade blend.
- Add extra protein boost by mixing in diced ham or crispy bacon bits into the chicken base for more flavor complexity.
