Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups chicken (cooked and shredded)
- 1 (12 oz) bag peas and carrots (frozen)
- 2 cups cheddar Bay biscuit mix (Red Lobster brand)
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter (unsalted)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Kosher salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (freshly ground, to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, creating an ideal cooking environment for the chicken cobbler.
- Melt butter directly in a 9×13-inch baking dish by placing it in the warming oven for 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the dish and strategically distribute shredded chicken across the melted butter, creating an even foundation.
- Sprinkle frozen peas and carrots over the chicken layer, ensuring uniform vegetable coverage.
- Season the chicken and vegetable layer with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to enhance flavor profiles.
- In a mixing bowl, blend milk with Cheddar Bay biscuit mix until thoroughly combined.
- Carefully pour the biscuit mixture over the chicken and vegetable layer, maintaining distinct layer integrity.
- Whisk cream of chicken soup and chicken stock together in the same bowl, creating a smooth, integrated sauce.
- Gently pour the soup mixture over the biscuit layer, allowing it to settle without disrupting underlying ingredients.
- Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes until the top turns golden and edges become slightly crispy.
- Remove from oven and let the cobbler rest for 15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and settle.
- Serve warm, revealing the rich, comforting layers of chicken, vegetables, and creamy biscuit topping.
Notes
- Customize chicken variety by using rotisserie, grilled, or leftover roasted chicken for different flavor profiles.
- Enhance vegetable mix with additional options like diced bell peppers, corn, or spinach for extra nutrition and color.
- Prevent soggy bottom by ensuring biscuit mix is evenly spread without mixing layers during pouring.
- Reduce sodium content by selecting low-sodium cream of chicken soup and using herbs instead of additional salt.
