Ingredients

Scale

Filling:

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Biscuit Topping:

  • 1 packet Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (plus ingredients listed on packet)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Filling Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, and cream of chicken soup until smooth and well combined for a creamy base.
  3. Add Seasonings and Chicken: Stir in the garlic powder, black pepper, frozen mixed vegetables, and shredded chicken to the creamy mixture, evenly distributing all ingredients.
  4. Fill Baking Dish: Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly to create a uniform base layer.
  5. Prepare Biscuit Topping: In a separate bowl, prepare the Cheddar Bay biscuit mix according to the package instructions. Once mixed, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese to add cheesy flavor to the topping.
  6. Top the Cobbler: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken mixture, covering the surface but leaving some gaps for even baking.
  7. Add Butter and Parsley: Drizzle the melted butter over the biscuit topping to encourage browning and meltiness. Optionally, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for a touch of color and freshness.
  8. Bake the Cobbler: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through, and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Rest Before Serving: Remove from oven and let the cobbler sit for 5 minutes before serving, allowing it to set and cool slightly for easier portioning.

Notes

  • Use cooked chicken from rotisserie, baked, or boiled; shredded for best texture and flavor.
  • You can substitute frozen mixed vegetables with fresh vegetables like peas, carrots, and corn if preferred.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle additional cheddar cheese on top before baking.
  • The parsley is optional but adds a fresh herbal note and appealing color.
  • If unavailable, homemade biscuit dough with shredded cheese can be used instead of the biscuit mix.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best results.
