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.
