1 (12oz) bag frozen mixed vegetables

1 (11.36oz) box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F and grease the sides of a large 9x13 baking dish.

In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, shredded chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and seasonings. Stir everything together until well combined, then pour into the prepared baking dish.

In another bowl, prepare the Cheddar Bay biscuit mix according to the instructions on the box, adding in the milk as directed.

Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit batter evenly over the chicken mixture.

Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through, and the casserole is bubbling.

Variations

Vegetarian Option: If I want a meat-free version, I can substitute the chicken with a mix of beans, tofu, or even extra vegetables for a hearty plant-based casserole.

Spicy Kick: I sometimes like to add a bit of hot sauce or diced jalapeños to the chicken mixture for a bit of heat.

Add Cheese: If I’m craving more cheesy goodness, I sprinkle a bit of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the biscuit dough before baking.

Different Biscuits: I could also use a different type of biscuit mix if I want to switch up the flavor—try using a garlic or herb biscuit mix for added taste.

Storage/Reheating

Storing Leftovers: I store any leftover casserole in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. The flavors continue to meld together, making it just as tasty the next day!

Freezing: If I want to freeze this casserole, I allow it to cool completely, then cover it tightly with plastic wrap and foil. It can be frozen for up to 2-3 months. When I’m ready to eat it, I bake it from frozen at 375°F for 60-70 minutes, or until it’s hot and bubbly.

Reheating: To reheat, I place individual servings in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes or heat the whole casserole in the oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes until warmed through.

FAQs

How can I make this casserole spicier?

To add a bit of heat, I often add chopped jalapeños, hot sauce, or red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture before baking.

Can I use fresh chicken instead of rotisserie chicken?

Absolutely! I’ve used freshly cooked chicken in this recipe. Just make sure to cook and shred it before adding it to the casserole.

Can I use a different type of biscuit mix?

Yes, I’ve used various biscuit mixes depending on what I have on hand. You can experiment with other brands or even homemade biscuit recipes if you prefer.

How can I make the casserole lighter?

For a lighter version, I might swap out the cream of chicken soup for a lower-fat option or use a lighter biscuit mix. I also like using reduced-fat cheese if I’m aiming for fewer calories.

Can I double this recipe for a larger crowd?

Definitely! I’ve doubled this recipe with success. Just make sure to adjust the baking time as needed—it may take a bit longer for the casserole to cook through in a larger dish.
