Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Cobbler Base

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1 ½ cups milk
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
½ cup sour cream
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional)

Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping

1 packet Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (plus ingredients listed on packet)
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp butter (melted)

Instructions

Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Mix the creamy base: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, and cream of chicken soup until smooth and well combined.
Combine savory ingredients: Stir in the garlic powder, black pepper, frozen mixed vegetables, and shredded chicken into the creamy mixture until evenly mixed.
Assemble the cobbler base: Pour the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out to cover the bottom.
Prepare biscuit topping: In a separate bowl, prepare the Cheddar Bay biscuit mix according to the package instructions, then fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
Top the cobbler: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken mixture in the baking dish, covering as much surface as possible.
Add butter and parsley: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the biscuit topping and sprinkle the fresh parsley on top, if using, for added flavor and color.
Bake to finish: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, and the filling is bubbly.
Rest and serve: Let the cobbler sit for 5 minutes after baking to allow it to settle before serving for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

You can use any frozen mixed vegetables you prefer or fresh vegetables, adjusting cooking times accordingly.
For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the creamy base.
Leftover cobbler can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
Make sure to prepare the biscuit mix exactly as the package directs for best texture.
Adding fresh parsley is optional but adds a lovely freshness and color contrast.
