What is Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie?
If you’re scratching your head, let me explain! My Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie is the ultimate comfort food mashup. I’ve taken the creamy, savory filling of a traditional chicken pot pie and topped it with a cheesy, garlicky crust made from Red Lobster’s Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix. It’s familiar, yet excitingly different.
Ingredients for Your Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie
Here’s what you’ll need to create this masterpiece:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter (divided): I use this to coat the bottom of the pan and brush on top for extra flavor.
- 4-5 cups pre-cooked, shredded chicken: Rotisserie chicken is my favorite shortcut, but boiled or even canned chicken works too.
- 10-12 ounces frozen peas and carrots: Feel free to experiment with other veggie combinations, like green beans, corn, or mixed vegetables!
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp chili powder: For just a hint of warmth.
- 1.5 cups chicken broth: I recommend low-sodium broth to control the saltiness.
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup: This adds creaminess, but you could also use cream of mushroom or celery for a different flavor profile.
- 1 cup whole milk: Makes the filling extra rich and creamy.
- 1 box (11 ounces) Cheddar Bay Biscuits Mix (reserve the seasoning packet): This is the key to that signature Red Lobster flavor! While I haven’t tested it, you can try a homemade biscuit recipe, but the mix is so convenient.
- 1/4-1/2 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese: I like a sharp cheddar, but feel free to use your favorite.
Step-by-Step Instructions for Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Tip: Make sure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
- Pour enough of the melted butter into the casserole dish to cover the bottom, reserve about ¼ of it for after the oven. Tip: Coating the bottom with butter prevents sticking and adds a lovely richness.
- Add an even layer of chicken on top of the butter. I find that an even layer of chicken helps the pot pie cook evenly.
- Next, add frozen peas and carrots. I like to add the vegetables while frozen so that they maintain some of their bite.
- In a small bowl, mix all of the spices together and then sprinkle all over the top of the pot pie. Do not stir. By sprinkling the spices instead of stirring them in, they will nicely flavor each ingredient in the pot pie.
- In a bowl, whisk together chicken broth and cream of chicken soup. Once both are mixed together, pour it over on top, ontothe chicken and vegetables. Whisking helps prevent lumps from forming and ensures an even flavor throughout.
- Next, add the milk, biscuit mix, and half the biscuit mix seasoning to a bowl. Mix everything together until all lumps are gone. Pour evenly on top. Make sure there are no lumps so each bite of the topping tastes great.
- Sprinkle as little or as much cheese as you would like over the top. I love a lot of cheese!
- Place in the oven for 55 mins. After 55 minutes, the top should be golden brown. Keep an eye on it, as ovens vary.
- Melt the remaining butter and stir in the remaining biscuit mix seasonings. This step is essential for that authentic Cheddar Bay Biscuit flavor!
- Brush over the top of the pot pie. This will help the topping get golden brown and delicious.
- Serve and enjoy! I love serving this pot pie straight from the oven. You can find many other delicious main dish options on my website.
Tips for Perfect Red Lobster Biscuit Topping
Biscuit mix toppings can sometimes get a little soggy. To avoid this, I recommend making sure the filling isn’t too watery before adding the topping. Also, be careful not to overbake the pot pie; the topping should be golden brown, not dark brown.

Storing and Reheating Your Pot Pie
Store leftover pot pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, I recommend using an air fryer or oven to re-crisp the biscuit topping. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the biscuits soggy.
Can I Make This Red Lobster Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie Ahead of Time?
Yes, you can! Prepare the pot pie completely, but don’t bake it. Cover it tightly and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to bake, add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time.
