Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 3 cups cooked chicken, diced (You can use rotisserie chicken to save time.)
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (Peas, carrots, and corn.)
- 1 cup cream of chicken soup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
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
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking your pot pie evenly.
- Prepare filling: 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 thoroughly to create a creamy, flavorful filling.
- Transfer filling: Pour and spread the chicken mixture evenly into your casserole or pie dish, forming a base for the biscuit topping.
- Make biscuit dough: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add cheese and garlic: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder to the crumb mixture. Gradually add the milk while mixing gently until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep biscuits tender.
- Top the filling: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken filling, covering the surface thoroughly to create a thick, fluffy crust once baked.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping turns golden brown and the filling becomes bubbly.
- Cool and serve: Allow the pot pie to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the filling set slightly and ensure safe, warm servings.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken saves time without sacrificing flavor.
- Do not overmix the biscuit dough to keep the topping light and fluffy.
- You can swap mixed vegetables for fresh diced carrots, peas, and corn if preferred.
- The garlic powder in the biscuit topping gives a signature Red Lobster biscuit flavor.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
