Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 cups chicken, shredded
Vegetables and Broth:
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
- 1 cup chicken broth
Baking and Topping:
- 1 cup biscuit mix
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grab a 9×13 inch baking dish and coat it thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray.
- Shred 2 cups of cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Mix the chicken with 1 cup broth, 1 cup milk, 1 cup mixed vegetables, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper in a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Combine 1 cup biscuit mix with ½ cup melted butter and ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Use a large spoon to drop dollops of the biscuit dough across the chicken mixture. Gently spread the dough to cover most of the filling, leaving some small gaps.
- Transfer the baking dish into the preheated 375°F oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes until your topping turns golden brown and the filling becomes bubbly around the edges.
- Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it rest for 5-7 minutes. This allows the filling to set and makes serving easier.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker, more flavorful base that saves time and adds extra richness to your cobbler.
- Swap frozen mixed vegetables with fresh seasonal veggies like carrots, peas, and corn to customize the dish and add more nutrition.
- For a gluten-free version, replace regular biscuit mix with a gluten-free alternative and ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free certified.
- Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme on top after baking to brighten the flavor and add a fresh, aromatic touch to the comforting casserole.
