Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 1 can cream of chicken soup (about 10.5 oz)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Biscuit Topping
- 1 cup biscuit mix
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the cobbler evenly.
- Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme. Mix well to blend all the ingredients into a creamy filling.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour and spread the chicken mixture evenly into a baking dish to create the base of the cobbler.
- Make Biscuit Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the biscuit mix with the milk. Stir until just blended to form a slightly sticky biscuit batter, taking care not to overmix.
- Top Filling: Spoon the biscuit mixture evenly over the chicken filling in the baking dish, covering the surface.
- Add Butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the biscuit topping to help it brown beautifully during baking.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the chicken cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving to let it set slightly for easier portioning.
Notes
- Using cooked chicken saves time and improves texture.
- You can substitute frozen mixed vegetables if fresh are not available.
- If gluten-free biscuit mix is preferred, use appropriate gluten-free baking mix.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce to the filling.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
