If you’re in the mood for comfort food that practically makes itself, Easy Chicken Cobbler is about to become your go-to dish. This cozy, one-dish meal combines tender chicken, savory vegetables, and a buttery biscuit topping that bakes up golden and fluffy. It’s the perfect weeknight solution when you need something hearty without the fuss.

This recipe is especially great for using up leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken. And the best part? You don’t have to make a biscuit topping from scratch. A few store-bought shortcuts make this cobbler as easy as it is delicious.


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.

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (thawed)
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion (optional)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

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.


Serving and Storing Your Chicken Cobbler

Serve this cobbler warm straight from the oven. It pairs beautifully with a simple green salad or steamed broccoli. For leftovers, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F to maintain the crispness of the topping.


Frequently Asked Questions

How can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Can I freeze chicken cobbler?

Yes, though the biscuit topping may soften upon thawing. Reheat uncovered in the oven to revive the crispness.

What if I don’t have chicken broth?

Water will work in a pinch, or use vegetable broth for a different twist.

Can I add cheese to the topping?

Definitely! Stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar for a cheesy biscuit crust.
