Make this comforting chicken cobbler casserole for a simple, hearty dinner. It uses shredded chicken and is topped with a cheesy biscuit crust, delivering classic American comfort food flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded 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
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar-sized casserole dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, 1/2 cup milk, frozen vegetables, thyme, and pepper. Spread this chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  3. Prepare the biscuit topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
  4. Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of milk into the flour mixture and stir just until combined to form a shaggy dough. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the top of the chicken filling. You can space them out or place them close together to cover the top.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Let the chicken cobbler rest for 5 minutes before serving hot.

Notes

  • For a shortcut, you can substitute the homemade biscuit topping with a package of refrigerated biscuit dough or a mix designed for Cheddar Bay Biscuits.
  • This recipe is a great way to use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken for a quick weeknight chicken dinner.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute the cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup.
