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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prepare for the cobbler.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded rotisserie chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt to taste, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well to evenly distribute all ingredients.
- Spread Filling: Transfer the prepared filling mixture evenly into the greased baking dish, spreading it out flat to create a uniform layer.
- Combine Dry Ingredients for Biscuit: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until well mixed.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Milk and Cheese: Pour in the milk and stir gently just until the dough comes together. Fold in the optional 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese if desired for extra cheesiness.
- Top Filling with Biscuit Dough: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken and vegetable filling, covering as much surface as possible but leaving some gaps for even baking.
- Optional Cheese Topping: Sprinkle additional cheese on top of the biscuit dough if you want a cheesier crust.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the cobbler sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly for easier slicing and serving.
Notes
- For best results, use cold butter when making the biscuit dough to ensure a flaky topping.
- Feel free to swap mixed vegetables for fresh or your favorite frozen vegetables.
- You can substitute rotisserie chicken with cooked shredded chicken breast or thigh meat.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt, based on the saltiness of your chicken broth and soup.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
