Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1 ½ cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
Biscuit Topping Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups cheddar biscuit mix
- ½ cup milk
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Layer Chicken: Spread the shredded rotisserie chicken evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the base layer of the cobbler.
- Add Vegetables: Evenly layer the frozen mixed vegetables over the chicken, ensuring full coverage.
- Combine Soup and Broth: In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables without stirring to keep distinct layers.
- Prepare Biscuit Topping: In another bowl, mix the cheddar biscuit mix with the milk until it forms a thick batter. Spoon the biscuit dough gently and evenly over the top of the filling layer.
- Add Butter and Seasoning: Drizzle the melted butter over the biscuit dough topping. Then, sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and black pepper evenly across the surface for flavor.
- Bake the Cobbler: Bake the assembled cobbler uncovered in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the cobbler rest for 5–10 minutes to set before serving, allowing flavors to meld and making it easier to portion.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken reduces prep time and adds extra flavor.
- You can substitute frozen mixed vegetables with fresh vegetables if preferred; just adjust cooking time accordingly.
- For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth instead of store-bought.
- Make sure not to stir after pouring the soup mixture to maintain texture contrast.
- This dish pairs well with a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
