Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie ingredients snapshot

Tender shredded chicken with peas, carrots, and corn swims in a creamy base, topped by a Cheddar Bay–style biscuit crown. The recipe stays forgiving—swap veggies or dairy to fit your pantry or dietary needs.

• 2½ cups cooked shredded chicken — leftovers or rotisserie save time.
• 1 cup frozen peas and carrots — adds color and sweetness.
• ½ cup frozen corn — a sunny pop in every bite.
• 1 small onion, diced — for gentle sweetness and aroma.
• 2 garlic cloves, minced — brightens the sauce.
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup — binds and creams the filling.
• 1 cup chicken broth — depth of flavor and moisture.
• ½ cup heavy cream or milk — smooths the sauce; lighter if you prefer.
• ½ tsp black pepper — subtle warmth; adjust to taste.
• ½ tsp dried thyme — classic herb note that ties the dish together.
• Salt to taste — season gradually for balance.
• 1 box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix — the star topping.
• ¾ cup milk — mixes into the biscuit batter.
• ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese — melts into the top for color and bite.
• 2 tbsp melted butter — enriches the topping; optional to reduce fat.

Ingredient notes: If you’re short on time, use rotisserie chicken. For gluten-free, swap in a gluten-free biscuit mix and gluten-free soup base. To cut fat, choose light dairy and reduce or skip the butter in the topping.

How to Make Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie

Step 1: Prep the filling

I start by bringing the filling together in a wide skillet. I heat a splash of oil, soften the onion and garlic until fragrant, then stir in the chicken, peas and carrots, corn, cream of chicken soup, broth, and dairy. A gentle simmer thickens into a creamy base. I taste and adjust thyme, pepper, and salt for balance.

Step 2: Sauté aromatics and build the creamy base

I continue by sautéing aromatics. The onion and garlic release their fragrance, while I whisk in the cream to create a silky base. I let the mixture bubble slowly, watching it thicken to a cozy sauce. I keep salt light and let thyme linger in the background, which makes the dish feel restaurant-fine without the fuss.

Step 3: Add chicken, peas, carrots, and corn to the filling

Next, I fold in the shredded chicken and vegetables. The filling looks rustic but tastes elegant, with the greens and corn popping against the pale cream. I let it simmer a few minutes to marry flavors, then adjust salt and pepper one final time. If the sauce thickens too much, a splash of chicken broth loosens it to a perfect coat.

Step 4: Make the Cheddar Bay biscuit topping

Now for the topping. In a bowl, I whisk the Cheddar Bay biscuit mix with milk, cheddar cheese, and melted butter until just combined. The batter should stay a touch lumpy for tender bites. I drop spoonfuls over the bubbling filling, leaving space for the biscuits to puff and brown. A quick pause helps me imagine that restaurant-worthy crown topping.

Step 5: Bake until bubbling and golden

I slide the pan into a 375°F oven and bake until the topping turns golden and the filling bubbles at the edges. About 35 to 40 minutes does the trick. After baking, I let it rest for five minutes so the creamy sauce can set, making every scoop smooth rather than runny. This is when Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie shines on weeknights.

Tips for Success

• Use room-temperature dairy to avoid caking in the sauce.
• Shred chicken while warm for easier, fluffier texture.
• Keep biscuit topping slightly lumpy for tender bites rather than smooth.
• Taste the filling before baking; adjust salt and thyme in small increments.
• Refrain from opening the oven during the last 15 minutes to prevent topping collapse.
• Final touch: aim for a bubbling filling and a deeply golden crown on your Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie, allowing it to rest 5 minutes before serving so sauce thickens.

Equipment Needed

• 9×9-inch baking dish (or an 8×8 pan) to fit the filling
• Skillet for the filling (any deep skillet or wide sauté pan works)
• Mixing bowl for the topping (a large bowl is perfect)
• Whisk or spatula for mixing (wooden spoon is fine)
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Optional parchment for easy cleanup

Variations

• Gluten-free: I reach for gluten-free biscuit mix and gluten-free soup base; this version of Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie stays creamy and comforting, with a golden crown.
• Dairy-free: I swap in unsweetened almond milk and a dairy-free biscuit mix; a drizzle of olive oil adds richness without dairy.
• Extra-vegetable version: I toss in diced bell peppers or green beans for extra color, texture, and nutrition.
• Make-ahead: I prep the filling in advance and refrigerate up to 1 day; bake from chilled for a fast weeknight dinner.
• Spicy upgrade: I add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce to wake up the filling.

FAQs

Is Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie gluten-free?

I’ve cooked a gluten-free version by swapping in a trusted gluten-free biscuit mix and gluten-free cream of chicken soup. The filling stays creamy and the topping browns nicely, though the texture can feel a touch crumblier than the wheat version. If you cook for celiac or gluten sensitivity, read labels carefully to avoid hidden thickeners and use clean tools to prevent cross-contamination. With these tweaks, this comforting pot pie stays truly comforting.

Can I make Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie ahead?

Yes. The filling can be prepared ahead and kept in the fridge for up to a day, then finished in the oven with the biscuit crown. I often mix the creamy base early, chill it, and drop the biscuit topping right before baking. If you’re feeding a crowd, you can assemble the pie and refrigerate the pan until dinner time; it bakes through evenly and still emerges bubbling and golden.

Can I freeze Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie?

Absolutely. You can freeze Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie, either assembled uncooked or after a partial bake. For best texture, freeze the filling and the biscuit topping separately, or freeze the unbaked pie in a tight wrap. Freeze up to 2–3 months. Bake from frozen at 350°F, adding 15–20 minutes. If you freeze the filling alone, thaw overnight in the fridge before assembling and baking. The result remains cozy and family-friendly.

How do I reheat Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie?

I mostly reheat Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie in the oven to keep the biscuit crown crisp. Preheat to 350°F, cover the pan with foil to prevent over-browning, and bake about 20–25 minutes or until everything is hot and bubbling. If you’re short on time, you can microwave individual portions, but the top won’t stay as flaky. Let it rest a few minutes after reheating so the sauce can thicken back up.

Sharing this Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie feels like inviting a friend into my kitchen. The creamy filling, thyme aroma, and cheddar crust bring calm after a hectic day.
