Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken Cobbler:
- 4 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 4 cups cooked chicken (cut into bite-sized pieces; rotisserie chicken works well)
- 12 oz bag frozen peas and carrots
- 3 teaspoons garlic powder
- 3 teaspoons onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 box (11.36 oz) Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
- 2 cups whole milk
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
For the Seasoned Butter Topping:
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- Seasoning packet from the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix box
For Serving:
- Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with melted butter, spreading it evenly across the bottom of the dish.
-
Layer the Ingredients:
- Spread the cooked chicken in a single layer over the butter in the baking dish.
- Evenly distribute the frozen peas and carrots over the chicken.
- Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper over the vegetables. Do not stir; just layer the ingredients.
-
Make the Soup Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth until well combined and smooth.
- Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring it covers the entire surface without stirring.
-
Prepare the Biscuit Batter:
- In another mixing bowl, combine the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (reserve the seasoning packet for later), whole milk, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Pour the biscuit batter evenly over the chicken and vegetable layers. Do not stir; just spread it gently over the surface.
-
Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through. The center may appear slightly runny but will thicken as it cools.
-
Prepare the Seasoned Butter:
- While the cobbler is baking, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Stir in the seasoning packet from the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix.
-
Finish the Dish:
- As soon as the cobbler is done baking, brush the seasoned butter over the top of the biscuit layer for extra flavor.
- Let the cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes after removing it from the oven to help the sauce thicken before serving.
-
Serve:
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
Notes
- You can use rotisserie chicken to save time.
- For a slightly spicier variation, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the soup mixture.
- If you prefer a thicker filling, use less chicken broth or add a bit of cornstarch to thicken it.
