Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 4 cups cooked chopped chicken
- 1 (10-oz) bag frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 (10.5-oz) can unsalted cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups chicken stock
Biscuit Topping
- 1 (11.36-oz) package Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (includes seasoning packet)
- 2 cups milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Assemble Base Layer: Pour the melted butter into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add the cooked, chopped chicken evenly over the butter, then sprinkle the frozen mixed vegetables on top of the chicken layer.
- Prepare Biscuit Mixture and Pour: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix, the seasoning packet included, and the milk until smooth. Pour this biscuit batter over the chicken and vegetable mixture in the baking dish.
- Add Creamy Sauce: Using the same mixing bowl, whisk together the unsalted cream of chicken soup and chicken stock until well combined. Gently pour this creamy mixture over the biscuit layer in the dish. Do not stir to keep distinct layers.
- Bake: Bake the assembled cobbler in the oven for 45 to 55 minutes until the top is golden brown and slightly jiggly in the middle, indicating the biscuit is cooked through.
- Rest and Garnish: Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes. This resting period allows the sauce to thicken to a gravy-like consistency. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
Notes
- Be careful not to stir after layering to maintain texture contrast between the biscuit topping and creamy base.
- The resting step is important to let the sauce thicken properly.
- You can substitute frozen mixed vegetables with fresh vegetables, though cooking time may vary.
- If you prefer, fresh cooked chicken can be used instead of leftover cooked chicken.
- For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken stock.
