Scale
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup butter (1 stick, melted)
- 4 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie recommended)
- 1 (12 oz) bag frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 (11.36 oz) box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (including seasoning packet)
- 2 cups whole milk
- 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
- Salt, sparingly if desired
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease the sides of a large 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Add Butter: Melt the butter and pour it evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking dish, ensuring the surface is well coated.
- Layer Chicken: Spread the shredded chicken evenly in a single layer over the melted butter.
- Add Vegetables and Season: Distribute the frozen mixed vegetables evenly over the chicken, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt sparingly if desired.
- Prepare Biscuit Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix, its included seasoning packet, and whole milk until just combined. Carefully pour this mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetable layers. Do not stir.
- Mix Soup and Broth: In the same bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over all the layers in the baking dish without stirring.
- Bake: Place the casserole uncovered on the center oven rack and bake for 55-65 minutes or until the top is a deep golden brown. Check at 55 minutes as oven temperatures may vary.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for about 10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For best flavor, use rotisserie chicken to save time and add convenience.
- Adjust seasoning according to your taste, especially salt since some ingredients already contain sodium.
- You can substitute mixed vegetables with fresh veggies, but cooking time may vary.
- Allowing the casserole to rest after baking improves the texture and makes serving easier.
- This dish can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking; increase baking time slightly if baked cold from the fridge.
