- 1 cup shredded cheese
Coating/Topping Ingredients:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375F, preparing a cozy environment for your comforting dish.
- Combine 2 cups shredded chicken, 1 cup mixed vegetables, 1 cup chicken broth, and 1 cup milk in a large mixing bowl. Stir until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into a baking dish, spreading it smoothly across the bottom.
- In a separate bowl, blend ½ cup flour, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Cut in 1 tablespoon cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently drop spoonfuls of the flour mixture over the chicken, creating a rustic, uneven topping.
- Scatter 1 cup shredded cheese across the entire surface, ensuring even coverage.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 32 minutes, until the topping turns golden and cheese melts beautifully.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler rest for 5 minutes before serving, allowing flavors to settle and the dish to cool slightly.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and easy shortcut to tender, flavorful meat.
- Choose frozen mixed vegetables for consistent texture and maximum convenience.
- Season the chicken mixture generously with herbs like thyme or rosemary to enhance the overall depth of flavor.
- If cooking for someone with gluten sensitivity, swap regular flour for a gluten-free blend in the cobbler topping.
