Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Add the melted butter to a 9×13 baking dish and swirl it around until the bottom is fully coated.

3. Spread the shredded rotisserie chicken evenly over the butter in the baking dish.

4. Top the shredded chicken with the frozen mixed vegetables in an even layer.

5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuit mix, the seasoning packet, and whole milk just until combined.

6. Pour the biscuit mixture over the entire layer of frozen mixed vegetables, being careful not to mix the layers.

7. In the same bowl, combine the chicken stock, cream of chicken soup, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Whisk until fully combined and no lumps of soup remain. Carefully pour the soup mixture over the biscuit mixture, ensuring the layers stay separated.

8. Bake the Chicken Cobbler for 55-60 minutes or until the crust has risen, is lightly golden brown, and the liquids are bubbly.

9. Allow the chicken cobbler to rest for 10-15 minutes to let the sauce thicken slightly before serving.
