Ingredients Needed

- 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 1 can cream of chicken soup

- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 1 package biscuit mix
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
How to Make Cheddar Bay Chicken Cobbler
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is important to ensure even cooking of your cobbler.
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, and garlic powder. Add salt and pepper to taste, then mix everything together until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Mix the Biscuit Batter: In a separate bowl, combine the biscuit mix and milk. Stir until just combined; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Add the Biscuit Layer: Pour the biscuit mixture gently over the chicken and vegetable layer in the baking dish. Be careful not to disturb the chicken mixture too much.
- Top with Butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the biscuit mix. This will help create a golden crust.
- Bake: Place the dish in your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cheese it Up: Once baked, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top, then return the cobbler to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Cool and Serve: After taking it out of the oven, let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Serving and Storage Tips
To serve, ladle generous portions onto plates or bowls, making sure to get a good mix of chicken and biscuit in each serving. This dish pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or steamed green beans.
For storage, cover any leftovers and keep them in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven or microwave, adding a splash of milk if necessary to revive the biscuits.
Helpful Notes
- Make It Your Way: You can switch out the vegetables for your favorites, such as broccoli or bell peppers.
- Spice It Up: For a bit of heat, add some cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
