How to Make Chicken Cobbler
Follow along with our pictures, step-by-step instructions, and helpful tips and tricks listed below. Let’s get started on this delicious chicken dinner recipe!
FIRST STEP: Preheat your oven. Prepare a 9-by-13-inch pan by swirling melted butter in the pan until the entire bottom of the dish is coated.
SECOND STEP: Spread the shredded rotisserie chicken in an even layer over the butter bottom of the casserole dish.
Pro Tip
Make sure you get the melted butter into every crack and corner of the baking dish. This prevents the chicken from sticking, and gives the casserole a lot of yummy flavor.
THIRD STEP: Spread the frozen vegetables evenly on the top of the chicken layer.
FOURTH STEP: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuit mix with the contents of the included seasoning packet and whole milk. Whisk just until combined.
Pro Tip
To avoid your biscuit layer from becoming tough and dry, be sure not to overmix the batter.
FIFTH STEP: Pour the biscuit mixture over the vegetable layer. Try to pour it carefully so that you don’t mix the chicken and vegetable layers.
SIXTH STEP: In the same bowl (you don’t need to wash it), whisk together the chicken stock, cream of chicken soup, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined, and no lumps of cream of chicken soup remain.
SEVENTH STEP: Carefully pour the soup mixture over the biscuit mixture. Again, try not to stir the two mixtures together as you pour.
EIGHTH STEP: Set the chicken dish in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes or until the crust has risen around the edges. The casserole will be lightly golden brown and the liquids will be bubbly.
NINTH STEP: Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow the dish to settle on the counter for 10–15 minutes. This will give the creamy sauce a chance to thicken up. Serve hot and enjoy!
