Servings: 8
Equipment
- ½ cup butter (1 stick melted)
- 4 cups shredded chicken (I use rotisserie)
- 1 (12oz) bag frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 (11.36oz) box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 (14.5oz) can chicken broth (about 2 cups)
- 1 (10.5oz) can cream of chicken soup
- seasoning to taste (I use garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° F and grease the sides of a large 9x13 baking dish.
- Melt the butter and spread it evenly onto the bottom of your prepared dish.
- Add shredded chicken in a single layer over the butter.
- Next, place the frozen vegetables evenly over the chicken and sprinkle with your desired seasonings. I use garlic powder along with onion powder and black pepper. Go easy on any additional salt.
- In a medium size bowl, whisk together the milk, Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix, and the seasoning packet that comes with the mix; pour evenly over the chicken and frozen veggies. DO NOT STIR.
- In the same bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and can of chicken broth. Pour evenly over the biscuit mix. DO NOT STIR.
- Bake uncovered in the center rack for 55-65 minutes or until a deep golden brown. It takes the full 65 minutes in my oven, but check on it beforehand as every oven varies.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes before serving so that the sauce can thicken.
Notes
- Want to make it cheesy? Sprinkle on a cup or two of shredded cheddar over the frozen veggies before pouring the biscuit mix over top.
- You really want to allow this casserole to cook for as long as possible so that the biscuit mix has a chance to rise to the top and fully cook. Let it get to a dark golden brown color before pulling it out.
- Because some of the ingredients already include salt, you really don't need to add much depending on your family's preferences.
- I'll bet frozen broccoli would be great in place of the mixed veggies. You could include any of your favorite vegetables!
- I use rotisserie for this recipe because it's easy and flavorful, but any shredded or chopped chicken can be used.
