Cheddar Bay Chicken Cobbler Recipe

Introduction

Cheddar Bay Chicken Cobbler is a comforting and savory casserole that combines tender rotisserie chicken, mixed vegetables, and a rich cheddar biscuit topping. It’s easy to prepare and perfect for a family dinner that feels special without much effort.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 4 cups rotisserie chicken meat, shredded
• 1 (15 ounce) bag frozen mixed vegetables
• 1 (11.36 ounce) package Cheddar Bay biscuit mix (such as Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix)
• 2 cups milk
• 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
• 2 cups chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place the butter in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish and put it in the oven to melt while it heats.
2. Step 2: Once the butter has melted, spread the shredded chicken evenly over the butter in a single layer. Top the chicken with the frozen mixed vegetables.
3. Step 3: In a bowl, stir together the biscuit mix, seasoning packet from the mix, and milk until well blended. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables, spreading it lightly and evenly without stirring.
4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and chicken stock until smooth. Pour this mixture over the biscuit layer without stirring.
5. Step 5: Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, until the top is very golden brown and only slightly jiggly in the center.
6. Step 6: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, if using. Let the cobbler stand for 10 minutes before serving to set.

Tips & Variations

• Use fresh or leftover rotisserie chicken for extra flavor and convenience.
• Substitute frozen vegetables with your favorite mix, such as peas and carrots or broccoli florets.
• For a creamier topping, add a little shredded cheddar cheese on top before baking.
• Parsley adds a fresh touch, but you can also use chives or thyme as an herb garnish.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave until warmed through or in a 350 degrees F oven for 15–20 minutes to keep the topping crisp.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use homemade biscuit mix instead of Cheddar Bay biscuit mix?

Yes, you can use your favorite biscuit recipe, but the unique cheddar and garlic seasoning in the Cheddar Bay mix gives this dish its signature flavor.

Is it possible to make this dish ahead of time?

Absolutely. Assemble the cobbler a few hours before baking and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Bake it just before serving, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time if chilled.

Instructions

2. Layer Chicken and Vegetables: Once the butter is melted, evenly spread 4 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken over the butter in a single layer. Next, add the 15-ounce bag of frozen mixed vegetables over the chicken.
3. Prepare Biscuit Mixture: In a bowl, stir together the Cheddar Bay biscuit mix along with its seasoning packet and 2 cups of milk until the mixture is well blended.
4. Add Biscuit Mixture Over Chicken and Veggies: Pour the biscuit mixture gently over the chicken and vegetables in the baking dish. Spread the mixture lightly and evenly over the top but do not stir it into the ingredients beneath.
5. Mix Soup and Stock: In a separate bowl, whisk together the 10.5-ounce can of cream of chicken soup and 2 cups of chicken stock until smooth.
6. Pour Soup Mixture Over Biscuit Topping: Pour the soup and stock mixture evenly over the biscuit mixture layer, again without stirring.
7. Bake the Cobbler: Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is very golden brown and only slightly jiggly in the center.
8. Garnish and Rest: Remove from the oven, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top if using, and let the cobbler stand for 10 minutes before serving to allow it to set.

Notes

• Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and flavor, but any cooked shredded chicken will work.
• Do not stir the layers after adding the biscuit and soup mixtures to maintain the cobbler structure.
• Frozen mixed vegetables can be substituted with fresh vegetables if preferred; adjust cooking time as needed.
• Letting the cobbler rest after baking helps it firm up for easier serving.
• Fresh parsley adds a bright, fresh finish but is optional.
