Ingredients
For the filling:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
- 1 cup corn kernels (frozen or canned)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon parsley (optional)
For the Cheddar Bay Biscuit topping:
- 1 package (11 oz) Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix
- 3/4 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional for extra flavor)
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds.
Step 2: Add Chicken and Vegetables
Add the shredded or cubed cooked chicken, frozen peas and carrots, and corn. Stir well to combine and heat through for 2–3 minutes.
Step 3: Make the Creamy Base
Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir constantly for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream, allowing the mixture to thicken, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley.
Step 4: Transfer to Baking Dish
Pour the hot filling into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish or deep pie dish. Smooth out the surface with a spoon or spatula.
Step 5: Mix and Top with Biscuit Dough
In a bowl, combine the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix with water and shredded cheese. Stir just until combined—do not overmix. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the filling.
Step 6: Bake to Golden Perfection
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. Optional: Brush the biscuit tops with melted butter mixed with garlic powder right after baking.
Step 7: Rest and Serve
Let the dish sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
