Equipment

9x13 baking
mixing bowls

Ingredients

2 Tbsp salted butter melted
3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
12 oz bag frozen peas and carrots or mixed vegetables
¼ cup canned cream of chicken
1 ¼ cups chicken broth, low sodium
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp old bay seasoning
1 7.5 oz box biscuit mix, any brand of choice * the small biscuit mix, not to be confused with the brand of pancake mix.
2 cups milk for the biscuit mix. Use 2% or whole
¼ cup shredded cheese

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400° F. In a 9×13-inch baking dish, pour in the melted butter evenly into the bottom. Or melt it in the dish in the microwave.
Layer the shredded chicken evenly on top of the melted butter (do not stir.) Add the thawed veggies over the chicken in an even layer so they don’t need to be cooked, add them thawed or frozen, either works.
In a separate bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, chicken broth.
Pour this mixture over the chicken and veggies (again, do not stir.)
In that same bowl or a new one, whisk together the biscuit mix with the milk, old bay seasonings, shredded cheese until combined well.
Pour the mixed biscuit mix layer as evenly as possible on top of the chicken and veggies, don’t mix it! This will be our buttery biscuit topping.
Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until everything is bubbling on the sides and the biscuit topping is browned.
Allow the cobbler to rest for about 8-10 minutes. This will help solidify everything so it doesn’t fall apart. Feel free to garnish with fresh chopped parsley for color.

Notes

Resist the urge to stir at any stage. This helps to keep the layers intact and ensures the biscuits bake properly on top while the filling stays creamy.

Let the cobbler rest for around 8 to 10 minutes after baking to let the filling set.

If you want to skip the cream of chicken, you can! It will still be tasty.
