Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Casserole - Tender chicken, creamy veggie filling, and iconic Cheddar Bay Biscuits create comfort food bliss.
Easy Chicken Cobbler
If you follow us regularly, you know I love a good one-dish meal. All the food groups in one place make supper time easy and fast. Not to mention easy clean up.
One of my favorite one-dish meals is a good ol' chicken pot pie. I love the traditional chicken pot pie in a homemade pie crust.
Tik Tok chicken cobbler casserole used the delicious cheesy, Red Lobster Biscuits mix for a top crust. So I took this idea and made my version of a chicken pot pie casserole and made it with no canned creamed soups.
If you are looking for other quick and easy dinner ideas, make one of my other casserole recipes. Some fan favorites include Cheesy Ranch Ground Beef and Rice Casserole and Cheesy Kielbasa Hashbrown Casserole.
For another version of this comforting chicken casserole, try the Rotisserie Chicken and Stuffing Casserole, too.
Ingredients
I prefer to skip canned cream soups in my recipes, so my recipe uses a few other simple ingredients to create a rich chicken-flavored sauce for the veggies and chicken.
- Butter - Saute the onion/garlic and thicken the filling
- Onion, chopped - Adds flavor to the filling
- Garlic, minced - Adds flavor to the filling. Use garlic powder if you prefer.
- Flour - To thicken the filling
- Chicken Bouillon - Turkey broth or Chicken broth work great, too
- Heavy Whipping Cream - Adds richness to the creamy sauce
- Cooked chicken - I used a rotisserie chicken but any cooked shredded chicken or turkey will work
- Frozen Mixed Vegetables - I used peas, carrots, green beans, and corn
- Salt and Black Pepper - to taste
- Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix - Made according to directions on the box
- Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded - Added to the biscuit mix

How to Make Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Casserole
- In a small saucepan, melt 3 Tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
- Saute onions and garlic until tender. Being careful not to brown the garlic.
- Add the flour and cook until thickened and lightly browned.
- Add broth and bring to a boil. Cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
- Add cream.
- Spread the chicken in the bottom of an 11x7 casserole dish and top with frozen vegetables.
- Pour sauce over the top and stir to combine.
- Make the biscuit mixture according to package being careful not to over stir. Top the chicken filling with the biscuit topping. Leave room between biscuits to allow room for browning.
- Bake at 425 for 14-16 minutes or until biscuit tops are golden brown.
- Brush the top of the biscuits with melted butter and seasoning packet mixture and serve.
Hint: After making this a few times, I found that allowing room around each drop of biscuit dough ensures the biscuits cook through. So using an 11x7 baking dish is ideal. A 9x13 pan could also work. Cooking time may vary.
Substitutions
Chicken pot pie is all about using what you have. Mix and match to make it appeal to your family.
- Vegetables - instead of using frozen veggies, canned or fresh. If using canned, drain the liquid well. For fresh, boil them in a small amount of water until tender before proceeding.
- Leftover Veggies - Use leftover veggies and mix them all for the vegetables in this casserole.
- Leftover Chicken or Turkey - Use a rotisserie chicken, canned chicken, turkey, cooked chicken breasts, etc.
- Vegetarian - skip the chicken and use vegetable broth or bouillon for a veggie only version.
- Gluten-Free - Use the Gluten-Free Red Lobster Biscuit Mix for the topping and replace the flour in the filling with cornstarch. If using cornstarch do not add it to the butter, instead add it to the cold water or broth.
Storing Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Casserole
Refrigerate leftovers for 2-4 days in an airtight container.
Top tip
Lift the biscuit to see if the underside is completely cooked. If it appears to be underdone and the tops are brown enough, loosely cover the biscuit tops with aluminum foil to prevent the tops from getting too brown while the bottoms finish cooking.
