Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie preferred)
  • 1 (10-oz) bag frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)

Biscuit Topping

  • 1 (11.36-oz) box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (including seasoning packet)
  • 2 cups milk

Sauce

  • 1 (10.5-oz) can cream of chicken soup (unsalted recommended)
  • 2 cups chicken broth

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Layer butter and chicken: Pour the melted butter evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Then spread the shredded cooked chicken over the melted butter in an even layer.
  3. Add the vegetables: Scatter the frozen mixed vegetables evenly on top of the shredded chicken. There is no need to thaw the vegetables beforehand.
  4. Make biscuit topping: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Cheddar Bay biscuit mix, seasoning packet, and milk until you get a smooth batter with no lumps.
  5. Pour biscuit batter: Gently pour the biscuit batter evenly over the chicken and vegetable layers. Do not stir; this allows the layers to cook properly.
  6. Prepare and add sauce: Using the same bowl, whisk together the unsalted cream of chicken soup and chicken broth until combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the biscuit layer. Do not stir again.
  7. Bake the cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes until the top is golden brown and slightly jiggly in the center.
  8. Rest and serve: Remove from the oven and let the cobbler rest for 10 to 15 minutes. This allows the sauce to thicken into a rich, savory gravy. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired, then serve warm.

Notes

  • Add shredded cheddar cheese on top of the biscuit batter before baking for a cheesy crust.
  • Enhance the biscuit flavor by stirring in garlic powder or paprika into the biscuit mix.
  • Omit vegetables to use extra chicken or add mushrooms instead if preferred.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute with gluten-free biscuit mix and certified gluten-free cream of chicken soup.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze tightly covered for up to 4 months.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, or microwave individual portions for convenience.
