Make this comforting chicken cobbler casserole for a satisfying weeknight dinner. It uses shredded chicken and is topped with a savory, cheesy biscuit crust, similar to Cheddar Bay biscuits.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk or regular milk
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, 1/2 cup milk, frozen vegetables, thyme, and pepper. Mix these ingredients well until everything is evenly coated.
  3. Pour the chicken mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
  4. Prepare the biscuit topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Pour in the buttermilk or milk and mix just until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the top of the chicken filling. The topping does not need to cover the entire surface; gaps are fine.
  9. Brush the tops of the biscuits lightly with melted butter.
  10. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Let the chicken cobbler rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a shortcut, use a store-bought biscuit mix and add the cheese and herbs specified in the recipe to mimic the Cheddar Bay flavor.
  • If you prefer a richer sauce, substitute half of the milk in the filling with heavy cream.
  • This dish reheats well in the oven or microwave the next day.
