Chicken Cobbler Recipe
Introduction
This chicken cobbler recipe combines tender chicken, a creamy sauce, and a golden biscuit topping for the ultimate comfort food. Perfect for family meals, this dish is hearty, satisfying, and easy to make.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup biscuit mix
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add the garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen vegetables. Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Prepare the Biscuit Topping
In a medium bowl, combine the biscuit mix and milk. Stir until just combined. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken mixture.
Step 3: Bake
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cobbler for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 4: Serve
Let the chicken cobbler cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy this comforting dish with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables.
