Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1 (14.5 ounces) can chicken broth (about 2 cups)
- 1 (10.5 ounces) can cream of chicken soup
Vegetables and Mix:
- 1 (12 ounces) bag frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 (11.36 ounces) box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
Dairy and Seasonings:
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
- Garlic powder to taste
- Onion powder to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375F (190C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish with a light coating of cooking spray.
- Gently melt butter and distribute it evenly across the bottom of the dish, creating a smooth base layer.
- Distribute shredded chicken uniformly over the melted butter, ensuring complete coverage.
- Scatter frozen vegetables across the chicken, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper for enhanced flavor profile.
- Combine milk, Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix, and included seasoning packet in a mixing bowl, whisking until smooth. Carefully pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables, maintaining an even spread without disturbing the layers.
- Blend cream of chicken soup and chicken broth in the same bowl until well integrated. Pour this liquid mixture gently over the previous layer, preserving the distinct sections.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 55-65 minutes, watching for a deep golden-brown surface that indicates complete cooking.
- After removing from the oven, allow the casserole to rest for 10 minutes, enabling the sauce to set and thicken, which improves overall texture and serving consistency.
Notes
- Customize the vegetable mix by using fresh or different frozen vegetables like carrots, peas, or green beans for added nutrition and variety.
- Swap chicken with rotisserie chicken or leftover turkey to reduce cooking time and add extra flavor.
- Create a gluten-free version by using a gluten-free biscuit mix and ensuring all other ingredients are gluten-free certified.
- Enhance protein content by adding diced ham or cooked bacon crumbles for a more substantial meal.
