Cheddar Bay Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie

This dish is a perfect combination of my favourite comfort foods. I saw this viral recipe a few months ago, and have been thinking about it ever since! Red Lobster’s cheddar bay biscuits are undeniably addictive, so I made a copycat version, where they get baked until crispy, on top of a creamy chicken filling, then brushed with garlic butter, of course!

This dish takes just over an hour to prepare, but it’s perfect for picky eaters, or just an easy weeknight dinner!
