Chef’s Pro Tips for Perfect Results

• Use rotisserie chicken – it saves time and adds rich flavor.
• Don’t overmix the biscuit batter – this keeps the topping light and fluffy.
• Let it rest before serving – the filling thickens and flavors settle in.
• Season in layers – season your chicken, your sauce, and your biscuit topping separately for the best flavor.

Ingredients

1. 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)

2. 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)

3. 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

4. 2 cups chicken broth

5. 1 teaspoon garlic powder

6. 1 teaspoon onion powder

7. ½ teaspoon dried thyme

2. Spread shredded chicken evenly in the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

3. Add the frozen mixed vegetables over the chicken.

4. In a bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour over the chicken and veggies—do not stir.

5. In another bowl, combine biscuit mix and milk until just combined. Pour evenly over the top—again, do not stir.

6. Drizzle melted butter over everything.

7. Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling.

Texture & Flavor Secrets

The magic of Chicken Cobbler is in the contrast: the creamy, savory filling beneath a buttery biscuit topping that’s crisp yet tender. Each bite brings you the rich depth of seasoned chicken and vegetables paired with the comforting, slightly sweet notes of the biscuit layer.

How to Serve Chicken Cobbler

Serve it hot, scooped into bowls or deep plates so you get a good mix of topping and filling in every portion. A fresh green salad or roasted asparagus makes a great side to balance the richness.

Creative Leftover Transformations

• Reheat and serve over mashed potatoes for extra indulgence.
• Turn leftovers into a savory breakfast by topping with a fried egg.
• Spoon filling into puff pastry and bake for mini pot pies.

Additional Tips

• Swap the cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom for a deeper flavor.
• Add shredded cheddar to the biscuit mix for a cheesy twist.
• Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for color and freshness.

Make It a Showstopper (Presentation Ideas)

Serve it in individual ramekins for a personalized touch, or bake in a cast-iron skillet for rustic charm. A sprinkle of fresh herbs right before serving makes it look as good as it tastes.
