Ingredients

For the Chicken Cobbler:

  • 4 tbsp salted butter, melted
  • 4 cups cooked chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces (rotisserie chicken works best)
  • 1 bag (12 oz) frozen peas and carrots
  • 3 tsp garlic powder
  • 3 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 box (11.36 oz) Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

For the Seasoned Butter Topping:

  • 2 tbsp salted butter, melted
  • Seasoning packet from the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix

For Serving:

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with melted butter.
  2. Layer the Chicken & Veggies: Spread the chicken evenly in the dish, then layer the frozen peas and carrots on top. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Do not stir.
  3. Add Creamy Sauce: Whisk together the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth. Pour over the chicken and veggies, covering the entire surface.
  4. Prepare Biscuit Topping: In a separate bowl, combine Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (reserving the seasoning packet), milk, and shredded cheddar cheese. Pour evenly over the chicken mixture—do not stir.
  5. Bake: Bake for 55–65 minutes, until the biscuit topping is golden and cooked through. The center may be slightly soft—it will thicken as it cools.
  6. Add Seasoned Butter: Melt 2 tbsp butter and mix in the reserved seasoning packet. Brush this over the hot biscuits for extra flavor.
  7. Rest & Serve: Let the cobbler rest 10–15 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

  • Do not overmix the biscuit batter; this keeps it light and fluffy.
  • Layer, don’t stir: This preserves distinct textures and ensures even cooking.
  • Prep ahead: Assemble the cobbler up to 24 hours in advance—just refrigerate until ready to bake.
  • Homemade biscuit dough: If you don’t have Cheddar Bay mix, make your own with garlic powder and shredded cheddar.
  • Customize: Add herbs like thyme or rosemary to the chicken layer, or swap in different veggies to suit your family.

Storage & Reheating

  • Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze: Wrap tightly or use a freezer-safe container. Keeps up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • Reheat: Oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15–20 minutes (cover with foil to prevent drying). Microwave individual portions as needed.

This Chicken Cobbler with Cheddar Bay Biscuits is cozy, flavorful, and perfect for any busy weeknight. The buttery, cheesy biscuit topping and creamy chicken filling make it a family favorite every time.
