Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3½-4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (white and dark meat)
• 20 ounces (2 10-ounce bags) frozen mixed vegetables (corn, peas, and carrots)
• 11.36 ounces box of Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix and enclosed seasoning packet
• 2 cups whole milk
• 2 cups chicken stock
• 10.5 ounces can of cream of chicken soup
• ½ teaspoon seasoned salt (such as Lowry’s brand)
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Prepare Baking Dish: Add the melted butter to a 9×13 baking dish and swirl around until the butter coats the entire bottom of the dish.
3. Layer Chicken: Spread the shredded rotisserie chicken evenly over the butter in the baking dish.
4. Add Vegetables: Top the shredded chicken with the frozen mixed vegetables in an even layer.
5. Prepare Biscuit Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuit mix, the contents of the enclosed seasoning packet, and whole milk just until combined.
6. Pour Biscuit Mixture: Pour the biscuit mixture over the entire layer of frozen mixed vegetables, being careful not to mix the layers.
7. Prepare Soup Mixture: In the same bowl used to mix the biscuit mix, add chicken stock, cream of chicken soup, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Whisk until fully combined and no lumps of cream of chicken soup remain.
8. Pour Soup Mixture: Carefully pour the soup mixture over the biscuit mixture, being sure not to stir the two mixtures together.
9. Bake: Bake the chicken cobbler for 55-60 minutes or until the crust has risen around the edges, is lightly golden brown, and the liquids are bubbly.
10. Rest and Serve: Allow the chicken cobbler to rest on the counter for 10-15 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly before serving.

Techniques or Tips

• Customize the recipe by adding your favorite herbs or spices to the soup mixture, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika.
• For a shortcut, use store-bought biscuit dough instead of the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix.
• Make sure to allow the cobbler to rest before serving to allow the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld together.

Variation

Feel free to substitute the frozen mixed vegetables with your favorite fresh or canned vegetables, such as green beans, diced potatoes, or sliced mushrooms. You can also add grated cheese on top of the biscuit crust during the last few minutes of baking for an extra cheesy finish.
