Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Cobbler Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
Sauce
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Layer the Base: Spread the cooked shredded chicken evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top the chicken with the frozen mixed vegetables.
- Seasoning: Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper evenly over the chicken and vegetables. Drizzle the melted butter evenly across the top.
- Make Cobbler Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, and baking powder until smooth to form the cobbler batter.
- Add the Batter: Pour the batter gently over the chicken and vegetables without stirring, ensuring it covers evenly.
- Prepare Sauce: In another bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup until smooth.
- Top with Sauce: Pour the soup and broth mixture evenly over the cobbler batter. Again, do not stir.
- Bake: Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Rest and Serve: Allow the casserole to rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for quick preparation or substitute with cooked turkey.
- Add sautéed onions or garlic to the base for additional flavor layers.
- For a richer taste, fold shredded cheese into the cobbler batter before baking.
