Why did this recipe go viral? It’s like a huge chicken pot pie casserole with no crust to roll, creamy chunks of chicken, cream of chicken soup, buttery red lobster biscuit topping, and it has veggies. Yum.
Granted this isn’t a “new recipe” it’s been around for while, but that Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuit mix is an amazing addition. You can thank yourbarefootneighbor on TikTok and Youtube.

Ingredients and Substitutions
Cooked Chicken - A store-bought rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken is the easiest way to go. Remove the skin and shred or cut it into chunks.
I used chicken breasts and poached them with chicken broth. Let it cool, cut them into chunks and added my favorite spices.
A great substitution around Thanksgiving and the holidays is leftover roast turkey.
Butter - A stick of unsalted butter is best if you're wanting to reduce the sodium.
Substitute a good drizzle of avocado oil or olive oil at the bottom of the pan.
Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix - The addition of this biscuit mix really makes this chicken cobbler amazing, but you can substitute another biscuit mix like Bisquick.
I also saw a gluten-free Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix and Bisquick on the shelf at the grocery store.
If you really want that cheddar bay biscuit flavor, add ½ cup shredded yellow sharp cheddar cheese. I really wanted to stick to the original recipe, but I’ll be adding it next time.
Milk - Creamy whole milk is preferred but 2% can be used in a pinch.
Chicken Broth - Boxed, canned, or bouillon would be great. Some types and brands can be thicker than others.
Mine was thin because I poached the chicken and used bouillon cubes. I topped the biscuit layer with the soup mixture and it just sunk to the bottom, which worked out perfectly.
Cream of Chicken Condensed Soup - Any brand will do but if you want to mix it up substitute cream of mushroom or condensed cheddar cheese soup. Yum.
Frozen Peas and Carrots - My favorite vegetable mix is peas and carrots but mixed vegetables would work perfectly as a substitute.
Tips & Suggestions
If you like a crispier biscuit topping add the soup mixture first then top with the biscuit mixture.
Don’t stir the layers, it’s just dumping and evenly layering.
After the cobbler is finished baking, make sure to let it cool for about 10-15 minutes. The sauce needs time to thicken up and become a nice creamy texture.
How To Serve
This is a great one pan meal with a starch, protein, and veggies. Since the oven is going adding roasted vegetables and dinner rolls would be great sides or a cool and crispy salad.

After reading all the comments I altered a bit based on others recommendations.
I used a large cast iron skillet. Melted 1/4 butter on the bottom in the oven while it was heating up. I mixed 2 cups chicken, 1 (10 oz.) frozen mixed veggies, 1 can cream of chicken and 1 & 1/2 cup chicken broth all together. Put that on top of buttered cast iron. I used the box mix, seasoning packet, 3/4 cup cheddar cheese and 1 & 1/2 cup milk then added that on top.
Baked at *350 for 50 minutes and it came out perfect! Whole family gobbled it up and said we need that on rotation weekly!

Thanks so much Anna for the recipe suggestion.
Linda says
Have you frozen this??
Andrea Johnson says
Hi Linda, I've frozen a small portion of leftovers and microwaved it with great results.
Kendra says
why are you adding 2 cups of milk though to biscuit mix when it says make with 3/4 cup of water, I guess I'm just confused by this step.
Andrea Johnson says
Hi Kendra, Great question. For this recipe, I do not use the directions or measurements on the back of the biscuit mix. Add the 2 cups of milk, enclosed seasoning packet, to the biscuit mix. Hope this helps.
Sara says
Do l make the biscuits according to the box directions and add milk or just use milk instead of the water?
Andrea Johnson says
Hi Sara, Mix together the biscuit mix, the included seasoning packet, and 2 cups of milk. Hope this helps.
Mildred Eady says
There is just me and my husband can I use just half of the biscuit mix
Nicole Huval says
Can you substitute dairy-free milk, or will it not come out the same?
Andrea Johnson says
Absolutely it can be substituted, but if the dairy free milk used is thinner than whole milk the cobbler might have a thinner saucy result.
ChileGal says
This was very good, though soupy even after sitting for 20 minutes. Next time I'll follow the Note and put the biscuit mix on top. Maybe it won't be quite so soupy. I added some frozen hash browns to the mixed vegetables. Also added cheese on top.
Andrea Johnson says
Awesome:) Thank you so much for the additions and tips 🙂
Kathy says
what can be substituted in place of canned soup??
Andrea Johnson says
Hi Kathy, thank you for the great question. I would substitute 1:1 heavy cream with a teaspoon chicken bouillon powder. Warm the heavy cream so the bouillon can easily dissolve.
Sarah Jane says
This recipe was so quick and easy! I only had a bag of frozen broccoli so I had to substitute that for the peas and carrots. My Red Lobster mix was the Rosemary Parm version. So I used grated parm instead of cheddar. I will definitely make this again!
Andrea Johnson says
Thank you so much for sharing. Those substitutions sounds delicious.
L says
This recipe doesn’t say what you do with the optional cheese. What do you do with it??
Andrea Johnson says
Thank you for the great question. You can add the optional 1/2 cup of shredded cheese when making the biscuit mixture. Mix together the biscuit mix, the included seasoning packet, and milk.
Bridgette says
It smelled delicious.. however even after sitting for 20 minutes it was very soupy thought it would be more crispy.. I baked at 350for 1 hour and I let it set for 20 , minutes.. Flavor was great
Andrea Johnson says
The flavor is so good 🙂 I'm sorry it was not the texture you prefer, might I suggest reducing the chicken broth.
The Chad says
Keyword in these biscuits. CHEDDAR!
Andrea Johnson says
Cheddar is so good 🙂 It's a great addition.
