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.

A friend brought this to a potluck I attended today. It was delicious. Her casserole dish was scraped clean.
Very easy to make and very good. I did add a half bag of frozen corn. Also added salt, pepper, onions flakes and garlic powder. The hardest part was waiting for it to finish baking!
I used bisquick and added teaspoon of garlic powder and teaspoon of parsley. I added 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese to mix. I cooked mixed veggies in chicken broth. Saved the broth and put it in the cream of chicken soup. It turned out delicious! My grandson favorite casserole.
Turned out great! Unfortunately I forgot to add 1 cup of milk to my topping, but still baked well. Thanks for sharing your recipe ☺️
I made this dish on a chilly Florida night and it was delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and loved the flavors so much, no need to add anything else. Thanks for sharing this yummy and easy to make recipe.
I made this and loved it. I was wondering if you could put the frozen hash brown potatoes in this. (The little
square ones.)
Hey There! So glad you enjoy this recipe! I haven’t tested using frozen hash browns, I know the pan gets pretty full, so might need an extra deep pan and possibly a longer cooking time. Please let us know how it turns out if you give it a try. Thanks! Jennifer
Tried this recipe exactly per the recipe and it was the best!
Excellent!! I added some onions and cheddar cheese.
This is great recipe!! I’ve made it several times and my husband always goes back for 2nds and 3rds!! I’ve added a diced up green pepper. Also added a yellow bell pepper.
I use green beans and corn because I don’t like peas.
It’s delicious!!!
I make this recipe all the time. It is so very EASY! I have shared this recipe with everyone. I use precooked chicken strips, mixed vegetables, can of diced potatoes, drained, cream of chicken soup with herbs and add some seasonings like poultry seasoning, thyme and garlic powder. Sometimes, I add a can of canned mushrooms, drained. I bake it for 90 minutes.
Great dish! I didn’t have any peas and carrots, but had a can of mixed vegetables were very good too! I definitely will make this again.
Delicious! Easy to make!
I used a 20 oz bag frozen fajita chicken (thawed and cut into smaller pieces). The I substituted 2 cans drained mixed vegetables and added about a Tablespoon dried minced onion and 1/4 tsp black pepper. It was delicious when I first made it strictly by the recipe but I think my changes added a new dimension. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
This is such a delicious and easy recipe! The taste is amazing. I’m making it for dinner tonight!
Delicious!!!
Can I make this in a crock pot?
Hey There! I haven’t tested this one in a crock pot. I think it might be tricky to get the golden brown finish on the cheddar bay biscuit mix with all of the moisture. Please let us know if you give it a try. Thanks! Jennifer
Very hearty! Perfect for the colder months!
I just made this last night . It was the best quick Chicken pot pie I ever made. It was delicious.
Could this be made with broccoli and corn instead?
Yes! I think that would taste good! Just make sure to chop the broccoli fairly well. Hope you enjoy 🙂 Jennifer
This was very good, but I cut the recipe in 1/2 and baked in an 8×8 dish. I only had frozen mixed vegetables so used those and I divided the biscuit mix in 1/2 and used 1 cup of milk. I did use a whole can of cream soup and 1 cup of chicken broth. I added 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the biscuit mix and sprinkled another 1/2 cup of cheese on the casserole before I baked. Used convection setting on toaster oven and began checking at 45 minutes. Baked a total of 50 minutes. Very, very, good.
