How to Make Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie

Ingredients:

  • 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 (For filling and biscuit topping.)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • To taste: salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 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 (For a Red Lobster touch.)

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. 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 thoroughly combined.
  3. Transfer the filling to your casserole or pie dish, spreading it evenly.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt for the biscuit topping. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder. Gradually add the milk, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the chicken filling, making sure to cover it evenly.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

How to Serve Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie

Serve this dish hot straight from the oven. It pairs well with a simple side salad or some steamed veggies. The cheesy, garlicky biscuits on top add a delightful flavor that complements the savory chicken filling.

How to Store Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie

To store leftover pot pie, let it cool completely. Then, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or transfer it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to 3 months; just make sure to thaw it in the fridge before reheating.

Tips to Make Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie

  1. Use Rotisserie Chicken: For a quicker preparation, use store-bought rotisserie chicken. It’s already cooked and saves time.
  2. Don’t Overmix the Biscuit Dough: Mix just until combined to keep the biscuits fluffy.
  3. Add Herbs: Fresh or dried herbs like thyme or parsley can elevate the flavor of both the filling and the biscuits.

Variation

Feel free to customize the filling to your liking! You can add ingredients like diced potatoes, mushrooms, or even different vegetables based on what you have available. Switching up the cheese to mozzarella or pepper jack can add a different twist as well.
