What kind of chicken is best for Chicken Cobbler?

Cooked chicken, shredded or diced, works best. Rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut for this easy recipe.

Can I make Chicken Cobbler ahead of time?

You can prepare the chicken and vegetable filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Add the biscuit topping and bake just before serving.

How do I know when the biscuits are cooked through?

The biscuits should be golden brown and firm to the touch, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Can I freeze leftover Chicken Cobbler?

While the filling freezes well, the biscuits can become a bit soggy when thawed. It's best enjoyed fresh or refrigerated for up to 3 days.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the cooked chicken, frozen peas, frozen corn, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, 1/2 cup milk, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat.
In a separate bowl, prepare the corn muffin mix according to package directions, using 1/2 cup milk and 1 large egg.
Spoon dollops of the corn muffin batter over the chicken mixture in the skillet. If using, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the biscuit topping.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through, and the chicken mixture is bubbly.
Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

For a richer flavor, use rotisserie chicken.
Feel free to add other vegetables like diced potatoes or green beans.
