Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

cooked chicken, shredded or diced
frozen mixed vegetables
cream of chicken soup
chicken broth
milk
butter
salt
black pepper
garlic powder
onion powder
biscuit mix

Directions

I start by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C). I melt the butter and pour it into the bottom of a baking dish.

In a bowl, I whisk together the milk, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. I sprinkle the biscuit mix evenly over the melted butter without stirring, then slowly pour the soup mixture over the top.

I evenly spread the cooked chicken and frozen vegetables over everything, making sure not to mix the layers. I place the dish in the oven and bake for about 45 to 50 minutes, until the top is golden and the cobbler is bubbling around the edges. I let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Variations

I sometimes add shredded cheddar cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of baking. When I want extra seasoning, I mix in poultry seasoning or dried thyme. I also like swapping frozen vegetables for fresh sautéed onions, carrots, and peas.

storage/reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, I warm individual portions in the microwave or reheat the whole dish in the oven at 350°F until heated through.

FAQs

Can I use rotisserie chicken?

I often use rotisserie chicken because it saves time and adds great flavor.

Do I need to thaw the frozen vegetables?

I don’t thaw them, since they cook perfectly while the cobbler bakes.

Can I make this ahead of time?

I prepare it a few hours in advance and bake it just before serving for the best texture.

What size baking dish works best?

I usually use a 9×13-inch baking dish to ensure even baking.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

I use a gluten-free biscuit mix and gluten-free soup, and it works very well.

Conclusion

I keep Easy Chicken Cobbler in my comfort-food rotation because it’s warm, hearty, and incredibly easy to make. Every time I bake it, I’m reminded why simple, home-style meals are often the most satisfying.
