# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
02 - In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, frozen vegetables, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, thyme, black pepper, and salt. Spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine biscuit mix (reserve seasoning packet), milk, sour cream, and cheddar cheese. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.
04 - Spoon dollops of biscuit mixture evenly over the chicken filling, gently spreading to cover while leaving some gaps for steam to escape.
05 - Melt butter and stir in the reserved biscuit seasoning packet. Drizzle evenly over the biscuit topping.
06 - Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
07 - Allow to rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It takes barely an hour from start to finish, and most of that is hands-off baking time.
  • The biscuit topping is ridiculously flavorful thanks to that signature Red Lobster seasoning blend.
  • You can use whatever cooked chicken you have on hand, making it perfect for leftovers or a quick weeknight fix.
  • It feels like a warm hug in a casserole dish, especially on cold evenings.
02 -
  • Do not overmix the biscuit batter or it will turn out dense and tough instead of light and fluffy.
  • Make sure your filling is spread evenly in the dish so the biscuits bake at the same rate across the top.
  • If your biscuit topping sinks into the filling, it means the batter was too thin, next time use a little less milk or add a tablespoon more mix.
03 -
  • Use a spoon dipped in water to dollop the biscuit batter, it keeps the dough from sticking and makes for neater placement.
  • If you want an extra-golden top, brush on a little more melted butter halfway through baking.
  • Taste your filling before topping it and adjust the salt and pepper, the soup and broth can vary in seasoning from brand to brand.
