Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie
A warm and hearty pot pie filled with tender chicken and mixed vegetables, topped with cheesy, buttery biscuits reminiscent of Red Lobster's iconic flavors.
Ingredients
For the filling
- 3 cups cooked chicken, diced (using rotisserie chicken saves time)
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
- 1 cup cream of chicken soup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for both filling and biscuit topping)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- to taste Salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
For the biscuit topping
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder (to give it that Red Lobster flair)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Transfer the filling into your casserole or pie dish, ensuring it’s spread evenly.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt for the biscuit topping. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and the tablespoon of garlic powder. Gradually add the milk, mixing just until the ingredients are combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits light.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the chicken filling, covering it as evenly as possible.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid scorching your tongue!
