Ingredients Needed
- Butter
- Rotisserie chicken: You can also use leftover shredded chicken, or bake a couple of chicken breasts and shred them using forks.
- Frozen peas and carrots: Using a frozen bag of veggies is super convenient and cuts down on prep time!
- Cream of chicken soup: For a rich and creamy casserole base.
- Chicken broth: Low sodium
- Seasonings: I use garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to add the perfect amount of savory flavor.
- Cheddar bay biscuit mix: You can also use a regular biscuit mix, but the Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuit mix is the secret ingredient that makes this casserole so delicious!
- Whole milk
- Cheddar cheese: Freshly shredded
- Fresh parsley
How to Make this Chicken Cobbler Casserole
- Step 1: Add melted butter to an oven-safe skillet or 9x13 casserole dish. Add the chicken on top, but don't stir it together.
- Step 2: Pour the frozen veggies on top of the chicken. Again, don't stir!
- Step 3: In a separate medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together cream of chicken soup and chicken stock.
- Step 4: Pour over the vegetable layer. No need to mix.
- Step 5: In another mixing bowl, combine biscuit mix with milk and cheddar cheese. Leave out the seasoning packet.
- Step 6: Pour the prepared biscuit mix over the chicken broth mixture in an even layer, then bake. While the casserole bakes, combine the remaining butter with the seasoning packet and brush it over top of the casserole once it's finished baking.
Recipe Tips
- If you find the top layer is browning too quickly, use some aluminum foil to create a tent over the top of the casserole.
- Other frozen vegetables can be added for extra nutrition. Corn is a great option!
- Top the chicken casserole with fresh chopped parsley, an additional sprinkle of cheese, or a dusting of the same seasonings.
- Be sure not to mix any of the ingredients as you assemble your cobbler casserole! It's very important to create those layers--everything will cook together just fine in the oven.
- Allow leftovers to cool, then transfer to an airtight container and keep in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. You can also freeze your cobbler for up to 3 months.
- Reheat leftover chicken cobbler by popping a piece in the microwave, or baking the cobbler in the oven again until heated through.
Recipe FAQ's
If you're worried about the biscuit layer getting dried out or overcooking, you can use some aluminum foil to cover the top. Otherwise, you can bake uncovered!
Once the biscuit layer is fully cooked and the casserole is bubbling and hot all the way through, your casserole is good to go!

Super loved this recipe. Added some extra cheese on top because my son loves the gooey cheese. The chicken was juicy, the veggies were cooked just right, and that biscuit crust gave the perfect crunch element to the dish. Super yum!
