Ingredients

For the Cobbler:

1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
4 cups cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded or diced
1 (12-ounce) bag frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
2 cups Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (or similar biscuit mix, with seasoning packet reserved)
2 cups milk (2% or whole preferred)
2 cups chicken broth (low sodium recommended)
1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

For the Topping:

2 tablespoons melted butter
Seasoning packet from biscuit mix

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Oven and Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Pour the melted butter into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Tilt to coat the bottom evenly.

Step 2: Layer the Chicken and Vegetables

Spread the shredded chicken evenly over the butter.
Scatter the frozen mixed vegetables in an even layer over the chicken. Do not stir.

Step 3: Mix the Biscuit Layer

In a mixing bowl, combine the biscuit mix (reserve the seasoning packet), milk, and shredded cheddar cheese if desired. Stir until just combined-it’s okay if there are some lumps.
Pour this mixture gently over the chicken and vegetables, spreading to cover. Do not mix.

Step 4: Make the Creamy Sauce

In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour this sauce evenly over the biscuit layer. Again, do not stir.

Step 5: Bake

Bake uncovered for 50–60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling at the edges. The center may look slightly jiggly.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10–15 minutes. This allows the sauce to thicken and makes serving easier.

Step 6: Add the Finishing Touch

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the reserved seasoning packet from the biscuit mix.
Brush this seasoned butter over the top of the cobbler while it’s still warm.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Recipe Notes

Chicken: Rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut, but any cooked, shredded chicken works.
Vegetables: Use your favorite frozen veggie blend. If you dislike certain veggies (like green beans), swap for more peas, carrots, or corn.
Biscuit Mix: Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix adds extra flavor, but Bisquick or any biscuit mix can be substituted.
Resting Time: Letting the cobbler rest after baking is key to achieving the right consistency.
Make Ahead: You can assemble the casserole a few hours ahead and bake just before serving.
Storage: Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
