We love how this chicken pot pie casserole recipe bubbles up around the edges to make every bite warm and satisfying.
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.

This was excellent but I did add a heaping spoon of sour cream in the biscuit mix and milk. Added a sprinkle of cheddar on top. Gave it just a little more pop. Definitely on the make again list.
This chicken pot pie recipe looks so delicious! I look forward to making this. I love that it’s quick and easy to make. most of these ingredients are already in my cupboard. Thanks for sharing. Shalom
This is really good! I was shocked. I highly recommend trying this dish. I love it. Thank you!
My this has become one of my son’s favorite dishes!
This recipe was easy to make and turned out great. Cooking time was longer than stated or expected. It was delicious. I am hoping that the leftovers freeze well, it is just me and a 9×13 is way more than I can eat.
I love this recipe! I’ve made it multiple times and have also given it to my daughter and she has made it a few times. I have made a few adjustments to this recipe to make it more the way we like it. The number one change was the order of the layers. I layer it butter, chicken, vegetables, soup, biscuit mix. For the vegetables, I use half a bag of mixed veggies.(peas, corn, green beans, carrots) & half a bag of peas & carrots mix. Then also add either sliced fresh mushrooms or a can of mushrooms. After layering the vegetables on top of the chicken I add some pepper to taste. Soup layer I add a can of cream of chicken soup and a can of cream of mushroom soup along with the chicken broth, also add a generous amount of poultry seasoning to this as well. Pour this over the veg.layer.
The biscuit mix & seasoning packet – I’m going to try something new and do one cup of milk and one cup of buttermilk. I have pretty much always had to bake this for close to two hours. After one hour I cover with foil and cook for another hour. Then let it cool. 15 minutes before serving. ENJOY! P.S. this was just how I made the recipe more to my family’s taste. But it was great just as is too.
This is my favorite version! Thank you for sharing!
Way too much butter. I will use 1/4 cup next time (especially if using a rotisserie chicken as they are somewhat greasy). Also add pepper and powdered garlic to the soup mix. Good,easy recipe!
Easy to make and sooo good!
Thanks for sharing
Has anyone tried putting it all together and cooking the next day.
Im thinking that it might need to sit out of fridge for at least 30 minutes minimum prior to cooking.
Hi Yvonne – how was it? You prepared it ahead of time and then cooked it later…..?
Hi Yvonne. I was just wondering if you did prepare the night before, then cook the next day, and how it turned out? Thx. Julie Youngblood
I’ve made it 2 times before, but just mixing/cooking all in one fell swoop. Thx again.
Hi can I replace non dairy milk like oatmilk for the milk in the recipe? I can’t tolerate cow milk.
Hey There! I haven’t tested this, but I think it should be fine. Please let me know how it tastes. Hope you enjoy 🙂
I looked at many versions of this recipe, I could not understand why so much liquid was required. On TikTok, I saw they add 2 cups chicken “stock”, couldn’t understand why. I made your recipe with a couple of variations and it turned out absolutely delicious! My bag of frozen veggies was peas, carrots, corn and string beans (12 oz). I also peeled and finely chopped a gold potato, added about a 1/3 cup chopped onions. This was all on the frozen veggie layer. I added about a 1/2 c. freshly shredded cheddar cheese to the biscuit mixture also. I sprinkled with a little garlic powder. I was totally nervous about the fluid/dry ratio, but it came out amazing! I did bake an extra 45 minutes and did not cover it at any point. Thank you for your recipe!
It the best. I made it for my husband , he’s love chicken pot pie’s. I’m not a fan of pot pie’s, but It look so good, so I decided too try some and wow it was so good I ate 2 pieces
I followed another’s suggestion and poured the soup and broth over veggies, then added the biscuit mix. Added some sour cream to biscuit, sprinkled Trader Joe’s Everything But the Stuffing over soup and added some to biscuit mix. It was finished baking in one hour. My husband and dad loved it! A keeper for sure!
Can this be frozen before baking? Is it better to bake them freeze? It’s all put together but company now not coming for a week.
I would think it would be great to put together and freeze. Planning on doing that myself.
Made as directed, and wish I would’ve followed other folks’ advice about putting the biscuit mix on top of the soup mix. By the time my biscuit topping was browned, the rest of the casserole was rather dry. I will try it again with the modification of putting the biscuit mix on top. For leftovers, I took the top layer off, mixed in another can of soup and some milk, and put the top back on. All in all, a really tasty recipe worth trying again.
I didn’t realize there was a seasoning mix with the cheddar biscuit box, so I forgot to mix that in. It was still delicious! Are used cream of chicken soup with herbs.
Same recipe but made with cooked ground beef, mushrooms, cream of mushroom soup. Wonderful! I taught my 12 year old grandson the recipe and he couldn’t wait to try it for his mom and dad!
Love this idea! Thanks for sharing with us and your grandson!!
Love itThis recipe is so easy, we couldn’t believe how good it was. It was delicious. I will make it again. Thank you for sharing it.
Hi Jennifer Thank you for this recipe! I tried it and both my husband and I loved it! I was wondering if you have tried it in a crockpot?
Hey There! Thanks so much for sharing positive feedback 🙂 I haven’t tested this in a crock pot, but now I’m curious!
Gave it a 4-star review because it needs some seasoning. Made this recipe and I would suggest to add some salt, pepper, garlic powder and any other seasoning if you are using the chicken broth and cream of chicken. If you use Better Than Bouillon the seasoning in that would be enough. The recipe is easy to follow and easy to bake as is. It was tasty and yield exactly the whole 9-13 baking dish. Will be making this again.
