Step-by-Step Recipe

    Prepare the Filling:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, frozen vegetables, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
    • If desired, stir in sour cream or milk for added creaminess. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

    Prepare the Biscuit Topping:

    • In a separate bowl, combine the Red Lobster biscuit mix, water, shredded cheddar cheese, and melted butter. Stir just until blended; avoid overmixing.
    • Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken filling. Spread gently to cover as much of the surface as possible.

    Bake the Pot Pie:

    • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the dish for 25–30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
    • Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.

    Add Finishing Touches:

    • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the seasoning packet included in the biscuit mix. Brush this mixture over the baked biscuits for added flavor.

    Serve:

    • Serve warm with optional sides like a green salad, steamed vegetables, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.

    Notes

      • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for best results.
      • Freezing: Freeze unbaked portions in a freezer-safe dish for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
      • Customizations: Add jalapeños, smoked paprika, or fresh herbs for a creative twist.
