Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie

If your week has been doing that fun thing where it sprints ahead while you’re still trying to remember if you moved the laundry to the dryer… hi, same. That’s exactly why Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie deserves a permanent spot in your dinner rotation. It’s warm, creamy, and comforting like a blanket you can eat—and the biscuit topping? Cheesy, garlicky, golden perfection that makes the whole kitchen smell like “everything’s going to be okay.”

This is the kind of meal that works on a busy Tuesday, but also feels special enough for Sunday dinner. And if you use rotisserie chicken (no judgment—only applause), it’s even more doable when life is life-ing.

Why You’ll Love This Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie

Let’s be honest: chicken pot pie is already a comfort food legend. But this Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie takes things up a notch because:

• It’s quick-ish comfort. No rolling pie crust. No complicated steps. Just mix, top, bake.
• It feeds a crowd (or future you). Leftovers reheat like a dream.
• Picky-eater friendly. Creamy filling + cheesy biscuits = fewer dinner table negotiations.
• That biscuit topping is the star. It’s like a cheesy garlic hug on top of your pot pie.

Basically, it’s the dinner version of showing up in sweatpants with a perfect blowout. Effortless and impressive.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the filling

• 3 cups cooked chicken, diced (rotisserie chicken = superhero shortcut)
• 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
• 1 cup cream of chicken soup
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• ½ cup chicken broth

For the biscuit topping

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ¾ cup milk
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder (this is where the “Red Lobster vibe” really shows up)

How to Make Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie

1) Preheat and prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grab a casserole dish or pie dish and set it nearby. Future you will appreciate the organization.

2) Mix the creamy filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine:

• diced cooked chicken
• frozen mixed vegetables
• cream of chicken soup
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• onion powder
• salt and pepper
• chicken broth

Mix until everything looks evenly coated and creamy. The broth loosens it up so it doesn’t bake into a dry brick (we’re making comfort food, not construction materials).

3) Add filling to the dish

Pour the mixture into your casserole or pie dish and spread it out evenly. Try not to snack on it too much at this stage—though I get it, it smells good already.

4) Make the biscuit topping

In another bowl, whisk together:

• flour
• baking powder
• salt

Now cut in the cold cubed butter. You can use a pastry cutter, two forks, or clean hands (my preferred method when I’m pretending it’s “arm day”). You want the mixture to look like coarse crumbs.

5) Add cheese and garlic

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon garlic powder. This is the moment where your biscuits start acting like those famous restaurant ones we all “accidentally” eat six of.

6) Add milk (don’t overmix!)

Gradually add the milk, stirring just until combined. The dough should look shaggy and a little messy—perfect. Overmixing makes biscuits tough, and nobody wants a biscuit that fights back.

7) Top the pot pie

Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the filling. Cover it as evenly as you can, but don’t stress if there are gaps. It’ll spread as it bakes, and rustic is a vibe.

8) Bake

Bake for 30 minutes, or until:

• the biscuit topping is golden brown
• the filling is bubbly

9) Cool briefly and serve

Let it cool for a few minutes before digging in. This filling is lava-hot right out of the oven—and I say that as someone who has learned the hard way.

My Best Tips (So It Turns Out Delicious Every Time)

• Use rotisserie chicken. It’s juicy, flavorful, and saves you a whole step. Weeknight magic.
• Keep your butter cold. Cold butter = flaky biscuits. Warm butter = “meh” biscuits. We’re not doing “meh.”
• If your filling seems thick, add a splash more broth. You want creamy, not cement.
• Don’t panic about lumpy dough. Biscuit dough is supposed to look a little rough—like it didn’t get enough sleep, but still shows up and performs.
• Want extra golden biscuits? Brush the tops lightly with a bit of milk before baking.

A Little Story From My Kitchen

This recipe became my “I need comfort and I need it now” dinner after one of those weeks where everything felt like a to-do list with legs. I made it with leftover chicken, dumped in frozen veggies (because chopping felt personal), and when it came out of the oven my whole kitchen smelled like a cozy restaurant fantasy.

And here’s the funny part: I planned to serve it neatly like a proper casserole. Instead, we stood around the counter taking “just a little taste” until it basically became dinner. So yes—this dish has a way of disappearing.
