Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Vegetables
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
Sauce
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Biscuit Topping
- 1 package Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Layer the Chicken & Veggies: Evenly spread the shredded cooked chicken at the bottom of the prepared baking dish, then layer the frozen mixed vegetables evenly on top.
- Make the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt until smooth. Pour this sauce mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables without stirring to keep the layers distinct.
- Prepare the Biscuit Mix: In a separate bowl, combine the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk. Stir just until combined to avoid overmixing, ensuring a tender biscuit topping.
- Assemble: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit batter evenly over the chicken and vegetable mixture, covering as much surface as possible. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the biscuit topping to promote browning and enhance flavor.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Cool & Serve: Remove the chicken cobbler from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This resting time helps the filling to set and makes serving easier. Enjoy your comforting meal!
Notes
- Use fully cooked shredded chicken for convenience and best results.
- Frozen mixed vegetables can be substituted with fresh, but cooking times may vary slightly.
- Do not stir after pouring the sauce to keep the cobbler layers intact.
- The biscuit topping should be dropped by spoonfuls rather than spread for a rustic look and texture.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the sauce.
- Let the cobbler rest for at least 5 minutes after baking for better slicing and serving.
