Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed (about 1 rotisserie chicken or 1 lb cooked chicken breast/thighs)
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth (preferably low-sodium)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste (start with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper)
  • 1 package (11 oz) Cheddar Bay biscuit mix (such as Red Lobster brand, or substitute with plain biscuit mix plus 1 cup shredded cheddar and 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus more for topping)
  • 3/4 cup milk (or as called for on biscuit mix package)
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley or 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for topping)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (for buttery topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, sour cream, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly mixed and creamy.
  3. Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread into an even layer.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine Cheddar Bay biscuit mix with 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Add milk (as called for on package, usually 3/4 cup) and half of the melted butter (about 2 tablespoons). Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the chicken filling. Sprinkle extra shredded cheddar on top if desired.
  6. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, until biscuits are puffed and golden brown and filling is bubbling around the edges. If biscuits brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
  7. Mix remaining melted butter with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and a sprinkle of parsley. Brush or drizzle over hot biscuits immediately after baking.
  8. Let cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken.

Notes

For gluten-free or dairy-free versions, use appropriate biscuit mix, soup, and cheese substitutes. Letting the cobbler rest after baking helps the sauce thicken. If biscuits brown too quickly, tent with foil. Leftovers reheat well and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
