Ingredients You’ll Need

This recipe calls for straightforward, humble ingredients, but each one is chosen for maximum flavor and comfort—nothing fancy, just real, satisfying food. Every component works its magic, from that hearty chicken to the herby seasoning and cheesy biscuit top.

• Cooked Shredded Chicken (2 cups): Perfect for using up leftovers or grab a rotisserie chicken for even more convenience and flavor.
• Frozen Mixed Vegetables (2 cups): No chopping required—just add straight from the freezer for bursts of color and nutrients in every bite.
• Garlic Powder (1/2 teaspoon): Adds a gentle garlicky depth to each mouthful without overpowering the dish.
• Onion Powder (1/2 teaspoon): Gives great savory flavor, making everything taste richer and more “homemade.”
• Dried Thyme (1/2 teaspoon): Brings a subtle earthiness that pairs beautifully with chicken and veggies.
• Black Pepper (1/4 teaspoon): Just enough to add a faint kick that wakes up all the flavors.
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon): Essential for making every ingredient pop and keeping the cobbler from tasting bland.
• Cream of Chicken Soup (1 can, 10.5 oz): This helps create the ultra-creamy base that makes a cobbler irresistible.
• Chicken Broth (1 cup): Loosens up the sauce and adds even more savory depth to the filling.
• Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (1 box, 11.36 oz): The star of the show—gives that signature cheesy, fluffy top that sets this cobbler apart!
• Milk (1 1/4 cups): Classic biscuit dough needs milk for richness and tenderness in every bite.
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese (1/2 cup): Melts into the biscuit topping, adding pockets of cheesy goodness throughout.
• Unsalted Butter, Melted (4 tablespoons): Mixed with the biscuit mix’s seasoning pack, it finishes the top with mouthwatering flavor and color.

How to Make Chicken Cobbler with Red Lobster Biscuit Mix

Step 1: Prep Your Dish and Preheat

Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) while you gather your ingredients and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. This ensures nothing sticks and allows for easy scooping once it’s baked.

Step 2: Mix the Chicken Filling

In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, frozen mixed veggies, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth. Stir everything together until you have a thick, colorful filling, then spread it evenly in your prepared baking dish to create the hearty base for your Chicken Cobbler with Red Lobster Biscuit Mix.

Step 3: Prepare the Biscuit Topping

In a separate bowl, mix just the biscuit mix (don’t add the seasoning packet yet!) with milk and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until just combined for the fluffiest result—don’t overmix or your biscuits won’t be as tender. Gently spread this cheesy batter over your chicken mixture, but no need to get it perfectly even; a rustic look is perfect.

Step 4: Add the Seasoned Melted Butter

In a small bowl, stir the reserved Red Lobster biscuit mix seasoning packet into your melted butter. Slowly drizzle this seasoned butter all over the biscuit topping. This is the magic step that infuses your whole cobbler with Red Lobster’s iconic garlicky, herby flavor.

Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection

Slide your dish into the oven and bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is deeply golden and the edges are bubbling. Let it cool for at least 5 minutes before serving—a little patience keeps the flavors intact (and saves you from a tongue-scorching bite)!

How to Serve Chicken Cobbler with Red Lobster Biscuit Mix

Garnishes

Bump up the color with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley or a dusting of extra cheddar on top as soon as it comes out of the oven. For a garlicky finish, add a pinch of garlic salt or a drizzle of melted butter just before serving. Every little topping takes your Chicken Cobbler with Red Lobster Biscuit Mix from great to showstopping.

Side Dishes

This cobbler is hearty on its own, but it loves simple sides like a crisp green salad, steamed green beans, or roasted asparagus. For extra comfort, serve it with a side of mashed potatoes to soak up all the savory sauce.

Creative Ways to Present

Spoon Chicken Cobbler with Red Lobster Biscuit Mix into individual ramekins for a dinner-party twist, or serve family-style in the baking dish with a big ladle. Leftovers also make fantastic hand pies or can be scooped over split biscuits for an easy next-day lunch.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Transfer any leftover Chicken Cobbler with Red Lobster Biscuit Mix to an airtight container and refrigerate within two hours of baking. It’ll keep well for up to three days, tasting just as delicious (if not more so) after the flavors have had time to mingle.

Freezing

If you want to freeze, let the cobbler cool completely, then wrap portions tightly or use freezer-safe containers. It keeps for up to three months—just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating for best texture in both the filling and the biscuit crust.

Reheating

To reheat Chicken Cobbler with Red Lobster Biscuit Mix, cover the dish with foil and warm in a 350°F oven until heated through—about 20 minutes. For individual servings, the microwave works too, but reheating in the oven helps keep the biscuit topping crisper.

FAQs

Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?

Absolutely! Just lightly sauté or steam fresh vegetables before adding so they’re tender by the time the casserole finishes baking.

What if I don’t have Red Lobster biscuit mix?

While the unique flavor of Chicken Cobbler with Red Lobster Biscuit Mix is hard to beat, you can substitute another cheddar biscuit mix or even make your own, though the taste won’t be quite the same.

How can I make this dish spicier?

Add a dash of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture, or try mixing a little hot sauce into the biscuit batter for a punch of heat throughout your cobbler.

What’s the best way to shred chicken for this recipe?

Rotisserie chicken is perfect—just pull it apart with two forks. Leftover roast chicken or poached chicken breasts work well too. Shred while the meat is still warm for easiest results.

Can I assemble this cobbler in advance?

You can assemble everything except the biscuit topping, cover and refrigerate the base for up to 24 hours, then add the biscuit mix and bake when you’re ready for fresh-baked goodness.
