Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 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)
Biscuits
- 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: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Chicken Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, and cream of chicken soup until smooth. Add garlic powder, black pepper, frozen mixed vegetables, and shredded chicken. Stir to combine evenly.
- Assemble the Filling: Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.
- Prepare the Biscuit Topping: In a separate bowl, prepare the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix according to the package directions. Once mixed, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese thoroughly.
- Top the Cobbler: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken mixture to cover the surface as best as possible without smoothing it out.
- Add Butter and Parsley: Drizzle the melted butter over the biscuit topping and sprinkle with fresh parsley if using, for added flavor and color.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the filling to settle and flavors to meld.
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.
