Tender chicken breasts in marinara are topped with buttery Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits in this Cheddar Bay Chicken Bake. It’s an amazingly simple one-dish meal the whole family will love!
Cheddar bay biscuits are tender biscuits loaded with cheese and butter, piping hot right out of the oven, are pretty much the best thing since sliced bread! I mean when you need some comfort food it doesn’t get any better! So when I can make a super simple dinner fast using them and the chicken I already have in my freezer I’m in! I love having fast, delicious chicken dinners on hand for those crazy nights. One of my other favorites is Honey Butter Chicken!
This recipe is so simple and flavorful that your family will be begging for more! Saute up a few chicken breasts and layer them with your favorite marinara sauce. Top that with the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mixture or this copycat version I love! Pop in the oven for 25 minutes for a delicious dinner that will fly off the table. It’s one of my family’s favorite easy casserole recipes!
Sadly, I could probably eat just these biscuits for a meal, but I thought some chicken for protein might be a good idea. 😉 You could also toss some vegetables in with the chicken, such as onions and broccoli for a complete one-dish meal.
