Ingredients
Scale
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
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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the pot pie evenly.
- 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 well until everything is thoroughly combined, forming a savory and creamy filling.
- Transfer Filling: Pour and spread the chicken mixture evenly into your casserole or pie dish, creating a solid base for the biscuit topping.
- Mix Biscuit Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to create the dry base for the biscuit dough.
- Incorporate Butter: Cut the cold, cubed unsalted butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs, ensuring flaky biscuit texture.
- Add Cheese and Seasoning: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder to the crumb mixture, adding the signature Red Lobster biscuit flavor.
- Add Milk and Form Dough: Gradually pour in the milk while mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
- Top Filling with Biscuits: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken filling, covering the surface as much as possible.
- Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the biscuit topping turns golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly and prevent burns.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and easy protein option.
- Frozen mixed vegetables should not be thawed before mixing; they will cook during baking.
- For a spicier twist, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling.
- Butter must be cold to achieve the best biscuit texture.
- Do not overmix biscuit dough; it keeps biscuits light and fluffy.
- Let pot pie rest after baking to improve flavor melding and ease of serving.
