Filling
- 4–5 cups pre-cooked, shredded chicken
- 10–12 ounces frozen peas and carrots
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup whole milk
Butter
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter (divided)
Biscuit Topping
- 1 box (11 ounces) Cheddar Bay Biscuits Mix (reserve the seasoning packet)
- Half the biscuit mix seasoning packet (for topping and butter mixture)
Cheese
- 1/4–1/2 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
- Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready for baking the pot pie.
- Butter the Casserole Dish: Pour enough of the melted butter into the casserole dish to cover the bottom evenly. Reserve about a quarter of the melted butter for later use.
- Layer Chicken: Add an even layer of the pre-cooked shredded chicken on top of the butter in the dish.
- Add Vegetables: Spread the frozen peas and carrots evenly over the chicken layer.
- Season: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and chili powder. Sprinkle this spice mix evenly over the top of the vegetables without stirring.
- Mix Broth and Soup: In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup until fully combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetable layers.
- Prepare Biscuit Topping: In another bowl, mix the whole milk, biscuit mix, and half of the reserved biscuit mix seasoning packet until smooth and lump-free. Pour this batter evenly over the pot pie filling.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle your desired amount of freshly shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the biscuit topping.
- Bake: Place the pot pie in the preheated oven and bake for 55 minutes. The top should become golden brown when done.
- Butter and Seasoning Glaze: Meanwhile, melt the remaining reserved butter and stir in the remaining biscuit mix seasoning packet.
- Brush Glaze: Remove the pot pie from the oven and brush the seasoned melted butter over the golden biscuit topping for extra flavor.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly, then serve and enjoy your delicious Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie!
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of shredded cheddar cheese to your preference for extra cheesiness or a lighter top.
- Using pre-cooked chicken saves time; leftover rotisserie chicken works perfectly.
- If you prefer, you can substitute frozen mixed vegetables according to taste.
- Ensure the biscuit topping batter is smoothed out well to avoid lumps for even baking.
- The seasoned butter glaze at the end adds a flavorful golden crust reminiscent of Red Lobster biscuits.
- Let the pot pie rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to set before serving.
