Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 stick 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 rotisserie chicken meat removed and shredded (about 4 cups)
  • 1 15- oz bag frozen mixed vegetables such as corn, peas, carrots and beans
  • 1 11.36- oz package cheddar bay biscuit mix such as Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 10.5 oz. can cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh chopped parsley optional

Equipment

  • 1 9x13 Inch Baking Dish
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Small Saucepan For melting butter
  • 1 Measuring Cups and Spoons For accurate ingredient measurement

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Melt the stick of butter in a small saucepan, then pour the melted butter into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, ensuring an even coating.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, can of cream of chicken soup, and chicken stock. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
  4. Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture over the melted butter in the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  5. In a separate bowl, prepare the cheddar bay biscuit mix according to package directions, typically by combining it with the 2 cups of milk until just moistened. Do not overmix.
  6. Carefully drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the chicken mixture in the baking dish, forming an even layer of biscuits.
  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld.
  9. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
  10. Serve warm directly from the baking dish.

Notes

To elevate this cobbler, consider sautéing fresh vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions before adding the chicken, building a deeper flavor base. Ensure the chicken mixture is well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and perhaps a pinch of poultry seasoning or a bay leaf for aromatics. For the biscuits, avoid overmixing the dough; a light hand ensures tenderness. A common pitfall is undercooking the biscuits, leaving them doughy; ensure they are golden brown and cooked through. Allow the cobbler to rest for 10-15 minutes after baking for the sauce to set and prevent it from being too runny upon serving. A final sprinkle of fresh parsley adds a vibrant pop of color and freshness.
