Ingredients For Chicken Cobbler
- 3 cups cooked chicken- rotisserie chicken, leftover chicken, or freshly grilled chicken all works perfectly in this recipe.
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 can cream of chicken soup- condensed celery soup, mushroom soup, and cheese soup works great as a substitute.
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables- any medley of mixed vegetables you desire. I usually use a blend of frozen peas and carrots. But sometimes, I'll opt for a stir-fry blend.
- A pinch of Dash seasoning- I highly recommend Dash seasonings because they're salt-free, so you can avoid getting that unnecessary extra sodium but still enjoy all the delicious savory flavors. I used the original blend, but they have options like lemon pepper and a table blend that focuses on the savory.
- Salt and pepper- to taste.
- 1 ½ cup pancake mix- You can also use a biscuit mix if you don't have pancake mix. This recipe is all about convenience.
- 3 tablespoons butter- melted.
- ¾ cups milk- Non-dairy substitutions will work as well.
How To Make Chicken Cobbler
Step 1: Prep Work
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a medium-large round casserole dish. Shred or roughly chop the cooked chicken.
Step 2: Mix the filling ingredients
Add the shredded chicken, frozen veggies, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and Dash seasoning. Mix all the ingredients until well until they fully combine. Season that mixture with salt and pepper. Feel free to use as much as you want.
Step 3: Make The Chicken Cobbler Topping
Add the dry pancake mixture to a bowl with the melted butter. Mix until you get a crumbly consistency. Add the milk and mix until it's incorporated. The batter doesn’t need to be smooth.
Step 4: Bake The Cobbler
Spread the topping mixture evenly over the filling. Transfer the casserole dish to the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden on top.
Step 5: Cool and serve
Take the dish out of the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. Letting it cool will help the filling thicken up a little. Then slice and serve warm. Enjoy!
Recipe Variations
- Change up the frozen veggie mix to make the cobbler different every time.
- Use cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery soup if you can't find cream of chicken at the store.
- Make the topping with the Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuit mix for even more flavor.
- Add shredded cheddar cheese to the filling to make this like the viral TikTok version.
- Use beef or vegetable broth if you don't have chicken stock. It'll give the cobbler a different flavor that'll be just as delicious.
FAQS About This Chicken Cobbler Recipe
What's the difference between chicken pot pie and chicken cobbler?
The main difference between a chicken pot pie and a chicken cobbler is the crust. Pies are made with a pastry crust, while cobblers are made with a biscuit topping. Pot pies also have a bottom layer and top layer, while the cobblers have just the topping.
How long does leftover chicken cobbler last?
You can transfer any leftovers to an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 4 days. To keep longer, freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. To reheat, just put the cobbler back in a baking dish and warm in the oven for about 10 minutes at 350°F.
