Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 3 cups cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Biscuit Topping
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking during baking.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and low-sodium chicken broth. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir until well combined, then fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Spread this mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fingers to work it into the flour until the texture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the milk and gently stir until just combined without overmixing. If desired, fold in the optional 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- Top with Biscuit Dough: Spoon spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken filling, creating a rustic topping. Optionally, sprinkle extra shredded cheddar cheese on top for a cheesy crust.
- Bake the Cobbler: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the filling to set, making it easier to serve neat portions.
Notes
- Using cold butter in the biscuit topping helps create a flaky texture.
- Feel free to customize the mixed vegetables based on your preference or seasonal availability.
- Letting the dish rest after baking helps prevent the filling from being too runny when serving.
- For a spicier twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the filling.
- This recipe works well with leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken from the store.
