Description
A comforting casserole featuring creamy chicken and vegetables topped with cheesy, garlic-butter biscuits.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cans condensed cream of chicken soup (10.5 ounces each)
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream or whole milk
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 rotisserie chicken, skin and bones removed and meat shredded (about 4 cups)
- 1 bag frozen mixed vegetables (16 ounces)
- 1 box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (11.36 ounces, including the enclosed garlic-herb seasoning packet)
- 3/4 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a deep 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the unsalted butter.
- Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until softened but not browned. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Transfer the onion and garlic to a large mixing bowl. Add the condensed cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, heavy cream or whole milk, sour cream, dried thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper. Whisk until evenly blended.
- Fold the shredded rotisserie chicken and frozen mixed vegetables into the sauce. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake the uncovered filling for 10 minutes to heat the cold vegetables.
- Place the biscuit mix in a medium bowl and stir in the cold water and shredded sharp cheddar until no dry pockets remain. Do not overmix.
- Drop 12 spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the filling, leaving space for steam to escape.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes until the filling bubbles and the biscuits are golden.
- Stir the garlic-herb seasoning packet into the melted butter and brush it over the hot biscuits.
- Let the pot pie stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a broccoli-cheddar version, replace half of the mixed vegetables with small frozen broccoli florets. A turkey variation works beautifully by substituting shredded turkey for the rotisserie chicken.
