What Kind of Biscuit Mix Should I Use?

For the best texture and rise, use a biscuit mix like Red Lobster Cheddar Bay mix or classic Bisquick. These blends already contain leavening agents and a nice flavor base, so you can keep the seasoning minimal. If you want to go all homemade, any drop biscuit dough will do the trick too.

How To Make the Easy Chicken Cobbler

Step 1: Prep the Filling

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken, thawed vegetables, onion (if using), cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and seasonings. Stir well to combine.

Step 2: Layer in the Dish

Pour the chicken mixture into a greased 9×9 inch or similar-sized baking dish. Spread evenly.

Step 3: Mix the Biscuit Topping

In another bowl, whisk together the biscuit mix, milk, and melted butter until just combined. The mixture should be thick but pourable.

Step 4: Add the Biscuit Layer

Gently spoon or pour the biscuit batter over the chicken mixture. Do not stir.

Step 5: Bake Until Golden

Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
