Tips & Variations

• Use homemade biscuit dough if you prefer, adding extra cheddar cheese for a richer topping.
• Swap frozen mixed vegetables for fresh veggies like peas, carrots, and corn for added texture.
• Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for a spicy twist.
• For a lower-fat option, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt and use reduced-fat cheddar cheese.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15–20 minutes or until warmed through to maintain the biscuit texture. Avoid microwaving to keep the topping from becoming soggy.

FAQs

Can I use fresh chicken instead of cooked shredded chicken?

It’s best to use cooked shredded chicken for this recipe to ensure even cooking. If you only have raw chicken, cook and shred it before assembling the cobbler.

Can I freeze Cheddar Bay Chicken Cobbler?

Yes, you can freeze the assembled cobbler before baking. Cover it tightly with foil and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking, and add a few extra minutes to the baking time if needed.

Notes

• Using cooked, shredded chicken simplifies preparation; rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut.
• Frozen mixed vegetables are convenient, but you can substitute fresh veggies of your choice, like peas, carrots, or corn.
• The parsley topping is optional but adds a fresh, vibrant touch.
• Letting the cobbler rest before serving ensures cleaner slices and better texture.
• If desired, you can add a pinch of paprika or cayenne to the biscuit mix for a little heat.
