  • Chicken broth: Low sodium

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.

    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!
