Ingredients You’ll Need

This cobbler only requires kitchen staples, but each ingredient brings something special: the creamy soup binds, the biscuit mix adds incredible cheesy flavor, and everything comes together in savory, buttery harmony. Here’s what you’ll need to get that classic, bubbling casserole magic.

• Unsalted butter: Melted and used to coat the baking dish, this keeps the chicken from sticking and adds incredible richness throughout the cobbler.
• Shredded rotisserie chicken: Using a store-bought rotisserie chicken saves time and brings both white and dark meat for texture and flavor depth.
• Frozen mixed vegetables: Corn, peas, and carrots add colorful pops and sweet freshness—no chopping required.
• Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (and enclosed seasoning packet): The secret to a biscuit topping that’s cheesy, fluffy, and packed with garlicky goodness.
• Whole milk: For moist, tender biscuits and a creamy, rich crumb on top.
• Chicken stock: Adds depth and savory notes, helping the filling stay velvety rather than dry.
• Cream of chicken soup: Acts as the “glue,” binding everything together in a creamy, luscious sauce.
• Seasoned salt (Lowry’s is ideal): A must for boosting those homey, savory flavors.
• Garlic powder: Rounds out the seasoning, elevating the savory taste without overpowering.
• Black pepper: Adds a gentle warmth without stealing the show.

Variations

The beauty of the Savory Chicken and Biscuit Cobbler Recipe is that it’s endlessly customizable. Tweaking a few ingredients can turn this dish gluten-free, dairy-free, or make it work with what’s in your fridge—so you’ll never get bored.

• Switch up the veggies: Try frozen green beans, broccoli florets, or even sautéed mushrooms instead of (or in addition to) the classic corn, peas, and carrots.
• Use homemade biscuit topping: If you can’t find the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix or want something from scratch, whip up your favorite homemade biscuit or drop-style dough with cheddar cheese and fresh herbs.
• Make it gluten-free: Sub in a gluten-free biscuit mix and certified gluten-free cream of chicken soup to keep it cozy and celiac-friendly.
• Dairy-free option: Use your favorite unsweetened plant-based milk and a dairy-free biscuit mix, and double-check your soup for dairy content.
• Spice it up: For a little kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper or a sprinkle of hot sauce to the filling mixture.

How to Make Savory Chicken and Biscuit Cobbler Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Dish

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt the unsalted butter and pour it directly into your 9×13-inch baking dish, swirling so every nook and cranny is coated. This ensures every scoop of your cobbler has a rich, buttery base and prevents any sticky mess later on.

Step 2: Layer the Chicken and Vegetables

Evenly spread the shredded rotisserie chicken over the buttery base. It creates a savory foundation for each bite. Next, sprinkle the frozen mixed veggies evenly across the chicken. Don’t worry about thawing the veggies—they’ll cook perfectly in the oven, and you’ll love their bright color!

Step 3: Mix and Add the Biscuit Topping

In a large bowl, combine your Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix, seasoning packet, and whole milk. Gently whisk just until everything comes together; overmixing makes dense biscuits. Then, pour this biscuit mixture over the veggies, spreading gently to cover the surface—resist the urge to stir the layers together!

Step 4: Prepare and Pour the Sauce

Now, in the same bowl (less dishwashing, hooray!), whisk together chicken stock, cream of chicken soup, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Whisk until silky smooth. Carefully pour this savory sauce over the biscuit mixture—again, don’t stir. The layers will magically form during baking.

Step 5: Bake and Rest

Slide the casserole into your preheated oven and bake for 55–60 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the biscuit top is set and lightly golden, and you can hear the sauce bubbling at the edges. Let the cobbler rest for about 10–15 minutes after baking; this gives the sauce time to thicken for perfect serving.

How to Serve Savory Chicken and Biscuit Cobbler Recipe

Garnishes

A little finishing touch goes a long way! Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley or chives over your cobbler just before serving. You could also add an extra pinch of black pepper, or for cheesy fans, a little extra shredded cheddar on top as soon as it comes out of the oven.

Side Dishes

This Savory Chicken and Biscuit Cobbler Recipe is hearty as a main, but it pairs beautifully with a crisp tossed green salad, simple steamed green beans, or even tangy apple slaw to brighten up the plate. A little cranberry sauce on the side gives a nod to classic comfort food dinners.

Creative Ways to Present

For parties or cozy gatherings, serve the cobbler in small ramekins for an individual “pot pie” twist. Garnish with little biscuit rounds for an extra-special touch, or present it family-style at the table in the bubbling baking dish—it’s comfort food theater, and everyone loves to dig in!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Any leftover Savory Chicken and Biscuit Cobbler Recipe can be cooled completely, then covered and kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The flavors only get cozier as they meld together!

Freezing

You can freeze the fully baked cobbler (or portions) for up to 2 months. Let it cool to room temperature and then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil to prevent freezer burn. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Reheating

To reheat, cover the dish with foil and warm in a 350°F oven until heated through (about 20–25 minutes). For individual portions, a microwave works great—just add a splash of chicken stock before reheating to keep the biscuit layer moist.
