When you want warm, creamy comfort food without spending the entire evening in the kitchen, this little chicken cobbler is the ideal dish to prepare. It’s comforting, straightforward, and features that alluring biscuit topping that gives each mouthful a sense of familiarity.
Components
chicken, cooked and shredded, one cup
half a cup of frozen mixed veggies
½ cup cream of chicken soup
half a cup of chicken broth
half a cup of Bisquick mixture
½ cup of milk
2 tablespoons of melted butter
Use leftover rotisserie turkey or chicken as an alternative; both work well.
Actions
1.Make the filling. Combine the chicken, frozen vegetables, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth in a little bowl. Don’t be alarmed if it seems thin; it will get thicker during baking.
2.Don’t mix; layer. Pour the mixture into a little baking dish.
3.Prepare the biscuit topping. Combine milk and Bisquick in a mixing bowl, and whisk until smooth.
4.Pour over the top. Pour the batter carefully over the filling. Avoid mixing; the layers give the dish its distinctive cobbler consistency.
5.Add butter as the last step. Pour melted butter evenly over the top.
6.Bake. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes at 400°F, or until the top is golden and the borders are bubbling.
Tips from the Chef
The key to achieving that smooth-on-bottom, golden-on-top cobbler finish is to keep the layers separate.
Use warm broth: The filling will thicken more uniformly if the broth is heated.
Allow it to sit for five minutes after baking so the layers may set properly.
Differences
Herb Biscuit Cobbler: To the Bisquick mixture, add a dash of dried parsley and garlic powder.
Cheesy Topping: To give the batter a richer texture, add 1/4 cup shredded cheddar.
Veggie-Filled: For additional color and a heartier bite, use more corn or peas.
