Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (113g) butter, melted
- 4 cups (560g) shredded chicken, cooked (using rotisserie)
- 1 (12 ounce) (340g) bag frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 (11.36 ounce) (322g) box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
- 2 cups (480mL) whole milk
- 1 (14.5 ounce) (411g) can chicken broth
- 1 (10.5 ounce) (298g) can cream of chicken soup
- Adjust seasoning to taste (garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) to prepare for your cobbler. It is important to feel the heat building before placing the dish in to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the Chicken: Sauté the shredded chicken in a pan until golden brown and fully cooked, ensuring you do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming.
- Add the Vegetables: Toss the frozen mixed vegetables into the pan with the chicken and let them soften for a short time. You want to see the colors brightening and the flavors starting to meld.
- Mix in the Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and allow the mixture to simmer gently without boiling for too long, melding all the flavors together.
- Prepare the Biscuit Topping: In a medium bowl, mix the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix to avoid dense biscuits.
- Assemble the Dish: Layer the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly in the baking dish. Generously dollop the biscuit dough on top of the chicken and vegetables, keeping it looking rustic and casual.
- Bake Until Golden: Place the assembled dish in the oven and bake until the biscuit topping turns golden brown. Keep an eye on it and use the enticing aroma as a cue for doneness.
- Let It Rest: After baking, let the cobbler rest for about 10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken. This prevents the dish from being soupy when served.
Notes
- Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
- Expert Tips: If the biscuit mix does not rise, avoid stirring the layers and keep an eye on the baking time for best results. To prevent the dish from being too salty, always taste first and adjust the amount of broth if needed. If your chicken turns out dry, consider adding a bit more broth or a splash of milk to maintain moisture.
- Reheating Instructions: Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side salad for a well-rounded meal. Pair with garlic bread to enhance the comfort food experience. Top with fresh herbs before serving for added flavor.
- Recipe Variations: Add shredded cheddar cheese for extra creaminess. Mix in cooked bacon for a smoky flavor. Substitute the cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom for a different taste.
- Ingredient Notes: Use unsalted butter for better control of saltiness. Feel free to substitute frozen mixed vegetables with fresh vegetables like broccoli or green beans. For a lighter option, swap whole milk with 2% milk or use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth if you prefer.
