How to make Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie
Ingredients:
- 3 cups cooked chicken, diced (You can use rotisserie chicken to save time.)
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (Peas, carrots, and corn.)
- 1 cup cream of chicken soup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (For filling and biscuit topping.)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (Cold and cubed.)

Directions:

- Transfer the filling to your casserole or pie dish, spreading it evenly.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt for the biscuit topping. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

How to serve Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie
Serve the pot pie warm, straight from the oven, for the best experience. You can pair it with a fresh side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. It also works well as a comforting dish for gatherings or family dinners, bringing smiles all around.
How to store Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie
To store any leftovers, let the pot pie cool completely. Then cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for about 3 to 4 days. You can also freeze it by placing it in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator, and warm it in the oven until heated through.
Tips to make Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie
- For a richer flavor, add herbs like thyme or rosemary to the filling.
- You can use any mix of vegetables you prefer or have on hand, such as broccoli or green beans.
- If you want a creamier filling, add a bit more cream of chicken soup or some sour cream.
- Avoid overmixing the biscuit dough; it’s okay if it’s a little lumpy.
Variation
You can slightly change the flavor by using different types of cheese in the biscuit topping, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack for some spice. You can also use cooked turkey instead of chicken for a post-holiday meal.
FAQs
1. Can I use other proteins instead of chicken?
Yes, you can use shredded turkey or even cooked sausage for a different flavor.
2. Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the filling and biscuit dough ahead of time. Just assemble it before baking, or you can even bake it and then reheat.
3. How do I know when the pot pie is done?
The pot pie is done when the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges. A toothpick inserted into the biscuits should come out clean.
