Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup biscuit mix
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, frozen mixed vegetables, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Transfer the chicken mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom of the dish to create a consistent base layer.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the biscuit mix, milk, and shredded cheddar cheese until a smooth batter forms. The consistency should be slightly thick but pourable.
- Carefully pour the biscuit mixture over the chicken layer, ensuring it covers the entire surface. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly if needed.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the biscuit layer comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes to allow the filling to set and cool slightly.
- Serve hot, portioning out generous servings that include both the chicken filling and the biscuit topping.
Tips
- For the most flavorful chicken, use leftover roasted or rotisserie chicken instead of plain boiled chicken. The extra depth of flavor makes a huge difference.
- Make sure to let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes after baking. This allows the filling to set and makes serving much easier.
- For a crispier biscuit topping, you can sprinkle a little extra shredded cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- If you want to add more vegetables, feel free to customize with additional frozen or fresh vegetables like carrots, peas, or green beans.
- To make this dish ahead of time, you can prepare the chicken mixture and biscuit topping separately, then assemble and bake just before serving.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat milk and reduced-sodium cream of chicken soup.
- Always check the biscuit topping with a toothpick to ensure it's fully cooked - it should come out clean and the top should be golden brown.
