Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Biscuit Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the chopped onions and frozen mixed vegetables for about 5 minutes until they soften.
- Make the filling base: Stir in butter, then sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly to form a roux.
- Add liquids and seasonings: Slowly whisk in the chicken broth along with garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce.
- Combine chicken and filling: Stir in the cooked chicken pieces, then remove the skillet from heat. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish and sprinkle cheddar cheese evenly on top if using.
- Prepare biscuit topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir in milk and melted butter until just combined to form a biscuit dough.
- Top and bake: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken mixture, gently spreading to cover most of the surface. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
- Rest and serve: Let the cobbler rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and filling to set.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken works great for convenience and adds extra flavor.
- You can substitute the biscuit topping with store-bought biscuit dough or puff pastry for an even quicker version.
- For a creamier filling, stir in a splash of heavy cream or a spoonful of sour cream into the filling before baking.
