Equipment
- Large skillet or saucepan
- 9x13-inch baking dish
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Spatula or wooden spoon
- Pastry brush (for garlic butter)
Ingredients
Filling:
- 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
Seasonings:
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried)
Biscuit Topping:
- 1 package Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (or homemade)
- ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ⅔ cup milk
- ¼ cup melted butter
- ½ tsp garlic powder
Optional Add-ins:
- 2 oz cream cheese (for extra richness)
- 1 tsp hot sauce (for heat)
- ½ cup chopped green beans or mushrooms
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Make the Filling: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until soft (3–4 minutes). Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
- Add Liquids: Gradually whisk in chicken broth and cream. Simmer until thickened (5–7 minutes).
- Combine Ingredients: Stir in chicken, vegetables, seasonings, and any optional add-ins. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare Biscuit Topping: In a bowl, mix biscuit mix, cheddar, milk, and garlic powder until just combined. Drop spoonfuls of dough over the filling.
- Bake: Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until biscuits are golden and filling is bubbling.
- Finish & Serve: Brush biscuits with melted garlic butter. Let rest 5–10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Don’t overmix biscuit dough—this keeps it light and fluffy.
- Use a deep baking dish to prevent bubbling over.
- Let filling cool slightly before topping to avoid soggy biscuits.
- Taste and adjust seasoning before baking.
- For extra cheesy flavor, use a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350°F to maintain biscuit texture.
