    Chicken Cobbler Recipe

    What I really liked is how simple it is to put together, especially if you already have cooked chicken or leftover roast chicken. The filling is rich and creamy, while the cheddar biscuit topping elevates this casserole to the next level.

    I also love that it is a complete meal in one dish. The chicken, vegetables, mushrooms, creamy sauce, and biscuit topping make it hearty and satisfying enough to serve on its own.

    From my experience, I would say the key is to make sure the filling is nicely seasoned. I also like cooking the vegetables a little longer so they become softer.

    You'll Need

    Ingredients needed for making chicken cobbler.

    Butter: I use unsalted butter to saute the vegetables.

    Cooked chicken: I used 3 poached chicken breasts, and I shredded them. rotisserie chicken also works good.

    Vegetables: I used fresh carrots, celery, onion and frozen peas. If you have frozen mixed vegetables, feel free to use them.

    Mushrooms

    All-purpose flour: I use it to chicken the filling slightly.

    Sour cream: It makes this dish creamy and rich.

    Chicken broth: I use broth instead of water to add more flavors to my dish.

    Seasonings: I like to keep it simple; I only add salt and black pepper.

    For the buttery biscuit topping, I used self-rising flour, buttermilk, melted butter, and shredded cheddar cheese and seasoned it with salt and pepper.
