Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping for this recipe
1 BoxRed Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
2 CupsMilkI used 2%
Seasoning packet from box
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F.Place a 9 x 13-inch baking dish in the oven with ½ stick of butter and allow it to melt completely.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and carefully tilt it so the melted butter coats the bottom.
Spread the cubed chicken evenly over the melted butter.
Scatter the frozen vegetables evenly over the chicken.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables.Gently spread the mixture across the surface. Do not stir.
In a separate bowl, prepare the Cheddar Bay biscuit topping using the biscuit mix, 2 cups milk, and the seasoning packet included in the box. Stir just until combined. It's OK if it's a little lumpy (see image below). Do NOT follow the instructions on the back of the box.
Carefully pour the biscuit mixture over the casserole. Gently spread it across the top without stirring into the layers below.
Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is cooked through and lightly golden on top.Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving so the sauce thickens slightly.
Notes
Layer ingredients and do not stir.Add frozen vegetables straight from the freezer.Two cans of soup plus ½ cup broth keep the filling creamy.Cover loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly.Rest 10 minutes before serving so the filling thickens.
