Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling

  • 3 cups cooked chicken, diced (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
  • 1 cup cream of chicken soup
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

For the Biscuit Topping

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the pot pie.
  2. Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy and seasoned filling.
  3. Fill Casserole Dish: Transfer the prepared filling evenly into a casserole or pie dish, spreading it out to create a uniform base for the biscuit topping.
  4. Mix Biscuit Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to combine the dry ingredients for the biscuit topping.
  5. Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients, cutting it in using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Add Cheese and Garlic Powder: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder to infuse the biscuit topping with classic Red Lobster flavors.
  7. Add Milk and Form Dough: Gradually pour in the milk while stirring until just combined, being careful not to overmix to ensure tender biscuits.
  8. Top the Filling: Spoon dollops of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken filling, covering the surface as best as possible.
  9. Bake: Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping turns a golden brown and the filling is bubbling hot.
  10. Cool and Serve: Allow the pot pie to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the filling set slightly and avoid burns.

Notes

  • Using rotisserie chicken helps save time and adds extra flavor.
  • You can swap frozen mixed vegetables with fresh ones if preferred.
  • For a richer biscuit topping, substitute milk with buttermilk.
  • Be careful not to overmix the biscuit dough to keep the topping light and flaky.
  • Let the pot pie cool slightly before serving to avoid very hot filling spills.
