Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Filling:

  • 2 –3 cups cooked chicken shredded or diced
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables peas, carrots, corn, green beans
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk or heavy cream
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried parsley

For the Lobster Flavour:

  • 1 cup cooked lobster meat optional but recommended
  • ½ cup seafood broth or lobster stock
  • OR ½ cup lobster bisque shortcut option
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper optional

For the Biscuit Topping:

  • 2 cups biscuit mix or homemade biscuit dough
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ⅔ cup milk
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp dried parsley

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Base

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until soft, then add garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 2: Make the Roux

  • Sprinkle in flour and stir continuously for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden. This helps thicken the sauce.

Step 3: Build the Creamy Sauce

  • Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Simmer until the mixture thickens into a creamy consistency.

Step 4: Add Seasoning and Lobster Flavour

  • Stir in salt, pepper, thyme, parsley, paprika, and cayenne. Add lobster meat and seafood broth (or bisque) and simmer for 2–3 minutes to develop flavour.

Step 5: Add Chicken and Vegetables

  • Mix in the cooked chicken and vegetables. Stir until everything is well coated and heated through. Remove from heat.

Step 6: Assemble

  • Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish and spread evenly.

Step 7: Prepare Biscuit Topping

  • In a bowl, combine biscuit mix, cheese, and milk. Mix until just combined (do not overmix). Drop spoonfuls or spread evenly over the filling.

Step 8: Finish and Bake

  • Brush biscuit topping with melted butter and sprinkle garlic powder and parsley. Bake for 25–35 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and filling is bubbling.

Step 9: Rest and Serve

  • Let the dish rest for 5–10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for faster prep and deeper flavour.
  • Avoid overmixing biscuit dough to keep it soft and fluffy.
  • If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
  • For extra richness, add a splash of cream or a bit of parmesan cheese.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze before baking for best texture; bake directly from frozen with extra time.
