- 11.36-ounce box of Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (and enclosed seasoning packet)

Chicken Cobbler Casserole Substitutions and Additions
If you’re looking to customize your Chicken Cobbler Casserole, here are some simple substitutions and additions that will allow you to tailor the dish to your tastes or dietary requirements. Keep in mind that any alterations may alter the taste and texture of the final dish.
Shredded Rotisserie Chicken: One of the best things about this recipe is that you can use leftover rotisserie chicken. You can also use homemade shredded chicken if you prefer. You can also use shredded pork or turkey—a great recipe for using up leftovers of all kinds! For a vegetarian version, substitute shredded rotisserie chicken with canned chickpeas or cooked lentils.
Frozen Mixed Vegetables: Use different vegetables like broccoli florets, diced bell peppers, or sliced mushrooms to add variety and color to your cobbler. For pickier eaters, frozen corn and carrots might be a good substitution. Fresh vegetables can also be used, but you should make sure they’re cooked or blanched before adding them to the casserole.
Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix: If you can’t find Red Lobster cheddar biscuit mix, you can make your own using this handy Copycat Red Lobster Biscuits recipe. You can also use a biscuit mix from the grocery store, but it will taste more like a regular biscuit casserole.
Whole Milk: 1% or 2% milk will be just fine for this recipe. You can also substitute a bit of half and half for a creamier taste. If you need a non-dairy option, any unsweetened, unflavored almond or soy milk will work, but may alter the flavor somewhat.
Chicken Stock: Vegetable broth or mushroom broth can be used instead of chicken stock to create a vegetarian-friendly casserole. You might want to add more seasonings to give the biscuits a bit more flavor.
Cream of Chicken Soup: For a lighter option, use cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery soup. These alternatives offer a similar creamy texture with a lighter flavor.
Seasoned Salt, Garlic Powder, Black Pepper: Feel free to customize the seasoning blend to suit your taste preferences. Add herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley for extra flavor, or sprinkle with a pinch of smoked paprika for a subtle smoky undertone.
How To Make This Chicken Cobbler Recipe
We all love Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits, and this recipe gives us all the delicious flavor of the classic biscuits plus all the goodness of a traditional chicken pot pie (no tricky pie crust necessary!). You won’t believe how easy this is to make!
STEP ONE: Preheat your oven. Prepare a 9-by-13-inch pan by swirling melted butter in the pan until the entire bottom of the dish is coated.
STEP TWO: Spread the shredded rotisserie chicken in an even layer over the butter bottom of the casserole dish.
PRO TIP: Make sure you get the melted butter into every crack and corner of the baking dish. This prevents the chicken from sticking, and gives the casserole a lot of yummy flavor.
STEP THREE: Spread the frozen vegetables evenly on the top of the chicken layer.
STEP FOUR: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuit mix with the contents of the included seasoning packet and whole milk. Whisk just until combined.
PRO TIP: To avoid your biscuit layer from becoming tough and dry, be sure not to overmix the batter.
STEP FIVE: Pour the biscuit mixture over the vegetable layer. Try to pour it carefully so that you don’t mix the chicken and vegetable layers.
STEP SIX: In the same bowl (you don’t need to wash it), whisk together the chicken stock, cream of chicken soup, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined, and no lumps of cream of chicken soup remain.
STEP SEVEN: Carefully pour the soup mixture over the biscuit mixture. Again, try not to stir the two mixtures together as you pour.
STEP EIGHT: Set the chicken dish in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes or until the crust has risen around the edges. The casserole will be lightly golden brown and the liquids will be bubbly.
STEP NINE: Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow the dish to settle on the counter for 10-15 minutes. This will give the creamy sauce a chance to thicken up. Serve hot and enjoy!
How To Serve Red Lobster Chicken Casserole
Of course, this one-dish meal is a complete dinner you can set on the table. But if you need to add a few more dishes to feed a crowd, we suggest pairing this casserole with more delicious comfort foods.
Accompaniments: Pair the casserole with a side of buttery mashed potatoes. Serve a crisp salad dressed in a tangy vinaigrette to provide a refreshing contrast to the rich and creamy casserole.
Creative Variations: Transform leftovers into delectable handheld treats by stuffing the cobbler filling into flaky puff pastry pockets. These savory turnovers make for a convenient on-the-go meal or a crowd-pleasing appetizer at parties.
Leftovers for Brunch: Repurpose leftover Chicken Cobbler as a filling for savory brunch crepes. Spoon the cobbler mixture onto freshly made crepes, roll them up, and drizzle with hollandaise sauce for an indulgent morning treat.
For dessert, pair this recipe with other comfort food classics. A piece of Coca Cola Cake or a slice of Apple Slab Pie are perfect with a spoonful of whipped cream and a cup of coffee.

How To Store Leftover Chicken Cobbler with Red Lobster Biscuit Mix
This savory cobbler recipe is delicious straight from the oven, but it’s also a great meal to enjoy again the next day. You can also easily make this recipe ahead of time or use it for meal prepping.
MAKE AHEAD: You can prepare your Chicken Cobbler ahead of time, so it’s a convenient choice for busy weeknights. Assemble the casserole according to the recipe instructions, but don’t bake it. Cover the unbaked casserole tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store it in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
IN THE FRIDGE: Once baked, allow any leftover Red Lobster biscuit cobbler to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. If there’s a lot left in the pan, you can cover the pan with plastic wrap instead. Store the casserole in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
IN THE FREEZER: We don’t recommend freezing this casserole. The biscuit layer doesn’t freeze well, and will thaw soggy and wet.
HOW TO REHEAT: To reheat refrigerated casserole, preheat your oven to 350°F and place your portion in an oven-safe dish. Cover with aluminum foil to prevent the top from over-browning and bake for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
