Ingredients
Filling:
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie recommended)
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
Cobbler Topping:
- 2 cups Bisquick or biscuit mix
- 1 ½ cups milk
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
- Prepare Filling: In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, evenly layer the shredded chicken and frozen mixed vegetables.
- Make Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables without stirring.
- Prepare Topping: In another bowl, whisk together the biscuit mix and milk until smooth. If using, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese gently.
- Assemble Cobbler: Pour the biscuit batter gently over the filling in the baking dish, being careful not to stir it into the sauce below.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the biscuit topping is cooked through and golden brown.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld and the topping set.
Notes
- Make it from scratch by replacing the cream of chicken soup with 1 cup heavy cream mixed with 1 tbsp flour plus extra seasoning for thickening.
- Add fresh herbs like thyme or parsley to the filling for enhanced flavor and aroma.
- For a spicy variation, mix in a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the sauce.
- To make this casserole gluten-free, use gluten-free biscuit mix and gluten-free cream of chicken soup alternatives.
