Also Known As Red Lobster Chicken Pot Pie
The herbs and extra cheesy flavoring in cheddar bay biscuit mix makes this chicken casserole so memorable and popular! Add this recipe to the list of easy ways to get dinner on the table when life is busy.
Using a rotisserie chicken, a bag of frozen veggies, butter, box of biscuit mix, milk, cream of chicken soup and chicken broth is so simple.
Just like our Chicken Noodle Casserole and Chicken, Bacon, Ranch Stromboli, leftover chicken or turkey works well in this recipe.
If you prefer the homemade approach over purchasing a box mix using the dry ingredients in our Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix is also an option.
Why This Chicken Pot Pie Casserole Recipe Works:
- Only takes 10 minutes to mix up!
- Leftover chicken or turkey or a rotisserie chicken all taste great as the main protein.
- Red Lobster chicken pot pie casserole is made with ingredients that are easy to keep on hand.
- Bisquick baking mix can easily replace the slightly more expensive box of restaurant biscuit mix.
- As a girl that only likes the center of brownies I was surprised that I just can’t resist the edges with the golden brown biscuit mix. Every single bite is delicious!
- When you don’t stir the ingredients together the liquid bubbles up as it bakes and makes a beautiful meal.
- Serve with a simple green salad for an easy family dinner.
- Leftovers reheat well for lunch throughout the week.
Ingredients Needed:
- Cooked chicken – I like to use a rotisserie chicken from Sam’s Club that is nice and meaty. Any plain, precooked chicken that is shredded or chopped up works fine.
- Butter – not a requirement but fat equals flavor and that’s why people love real butter!
- Peas and Carrots – a bag of frozen veggies works well. Green beans would be fine in the combo too.
- Red Lobster Biscuit Mix – I love the unique blend of herbs and hint of cheesiness in every bite that makes it feel like you’re eating out.
- Milk – stir with the baking mix and pour over the chicken.
- Chicken Broth – Use about a soup can full of purchased broth or use Better than Bouillon to make your own stock.
Step By Step Instructions
Shred a warm, freshly cooked rotisserie chicken into smaller than bite size pieces
Melt butter and pour in the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan.
Sprinkle chicken on top of butter taking care to keep the butter in as even of a layer in the bottom of a pan as possible.
Spread frozen vegetables over chicken.
I typically use a whole bag, but a half or partial bag works fine too.
Stir biscuit mix and seasoning packet into milk. Mix until no clumps of flour remain.
Pour as evenly as possible over the chicken.
Then mix can of cream of chicken soup into chicken broth or chicken stock.
Pour over top of cheddar bay biscuit casserole being careful not to make dish overflow.
Bake uncovered at 350°F for 45 – 60 minutes.
Check casserole about 45 minutes in. Continue to cook until there is no more batter visible in the center and the edges are golden brown.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Chicken or turkey is interchangeable in this recipe and leftovers works great.
- Don’t add any extra or the pan might bake over. This makes a very full 9×13” dish so take care not to overfill
- The box of biscuit mix has about 2 1/2 cups of baking mix. Use a minimum of two cups up to the entire package of biscuit mix.
- No stirring necessary – just let the layers bake and bubble together in the oven.
- Smaller pieces of chicken or Turkey are better and allow more of the flavors to mix into every bite.
- Baking time will vary based on how thick the casserole is – some readers share it takes up to 1 1/2 hours to bake.

can you add cheese?
Yes! Can mix into the biscuit mix or sprinkle on top of the chicken and veggies. Hope you enjoy 🙂
I have made this several times and everybody loves it. Changed up a couple of things. Added about 1 cup shredded cheese after vegetables. Then added the soup mixture before the cheddar bay biscuit add biscuit mix last. Had to cook longer. Just keep checking it. Should be a little jigglie in the center.
I loved it very filling and great for these cold days!! Very easy 2,just remember to spray the pan and it cleaned up so nice!
Tried for the first time and if I made it again I would add more seasonings!! I cooked it for 90minutes and it really could’ve been in at least another 10-15. I was expecting it to be done around 45 like the recipe said. I even used slightly less broth and milk.
I was wondering if I could use fresh chicken tenderloins instead of the cooked chicken?
Hey There – I’ve only used cooked chicken, so I would cook the tenderloins, chop them up and use in the casserole. Hope you enjoy 🙂 Jennifer
Delicious! A winner every time I make it
Hi looking to make this as a freezer meal for my friend who is having a baby, do you think i could prep it and freeze it or would you suggest to cook it and then freeze it?
Hi Rebecca – I think the biscuit mix is the variable here to consider. I haven’t tested freezing, but I’m leaning towards baking the whole casserole and freezing. So nice of you to think of her! I hope it all goes well! ~Jennifer
Easy to make with rotisserie chicken. This has replaced my old chicken pot pie recipe!
As is, the recipe is just OK (very bland) but worth trying again with a few tweaks.
Great dish. My husband loved this and said this is a keeper. Followed the directions with on exception( after reading previous comments). I pore have the broth/soup mixture over the veggie layer then the other half over the biscuit mixture. It was perfect. So easy to make, not easy to stop eating
Winner winner chicken dinner, this was a hit at my house!!!! Definitely making this again!!!
This is so good, but it makes a lot, so be prepared for leftovers, or have company for dinner! It’s very easy to make too. Thanks for sharing!
Mine took 90 minutes! But worth it.
Going to try it tonight.
Delicious, will definitely make it again. How is the best way to re-heat it?
Hey There – We typically use the microwave, but an air fryer or oven on low will likely heat it slower and more evenly. We hope you enjoy!
Very flavorful…BUT, it took one hour and twenty minutes to cook. I followed the recipe but it was rather gummy after all that cook time. I will cook leftovers uncovered in hopes it will crust up a little. Also next time I will only use 1/2 cup of broth in hopes it will cook firmer.
Easy to fix, good flavor but needs to bake longer than an hour. Biscuit didn’t seem done through out the pan. Next time I will bake it 90 minutes
