Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
Baking and Soup Base:
- 1 packet Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup (118 milliliters) butter, melted
- 1 can (10.5 ounces / 298 grams) cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups (473 milliliters) chicken broth
Seasonings and Vegetables:
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375F (190C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Create an even layer of shredded chicken across the bottom of the dish, then distribute frozen mixed vegetables uniformly.
- Combine cream of chicken soup with chicken broth in a mixing bowl, whisking until smooth. Carefully pour the liquid mixture over the chicken and vegetables.
- In another bowl, blend Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix with milk and selected seasonings until just combined. Gently spread the biscuit mixture across the top of the chicken layer, avoiding stirring to maintain distinct layers.
- Drizzle melted butter evenly over the entire surface of the biscuit topping.
- Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, watching for a golden-brown crust and bubbling edges that indicate the cobbler is fully cooked.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to rest for 5-10 minutes, which helps the filling set and makes serving easier. Scoop and serve warm.
Notes
- Shred chicken in advance and store in freezer bags for quick assembly, saving precious time during busy weeknights.
- Swap frozen mixed vegetables with fresh seasonal vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or fresh green beans for extra nutrition and vibrant color.
- For gluten-free version, use gluten-free cream of chicken soup and a gluten-free biscuit mix to accommodate dietary restrictions without compromising flavor.
- Enhance the dish’s depth by adding herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley to the chicken mixture for an aromatic and more complex taste profile.
