Preparation Phase & Tools to Use

Before diving into this crave-worthy dish, gather your essential tools:

  • 9×13 Baking Dish: The foundation for building and baking your cobbler layers evenly.
  • Mixing Bowls: For prepping both the biscuit topping and chicken filling.
  • Whisk: Essential for combining the creamy base without lumps.
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons: Accuracy matters with both biscuits and sauce.
  • Wooden Spoon or Silicone Spatula: Helps you fold ingredients gently without breaking up the chicken.
  • Oven Mitts: Because you’ll be working with hot bakeware.

Using the right tools ensures a smoother prep experience and a better-finished product. Mixing bowls help streamline each part of the recipe, and the baking dish is key to even heat distribution for golden, bubbly results.

Ingredients for the Yummy Chicken and Biscuit Cobbler

  • Cooked Shredded Chicken: The heart of the dish, offering savory protein and hearty flavor.
  • Frozen Mixed Vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans): Brings color, texture, and nutrition to every bite.
  • Crispy Cooked Bacon: Adds a smoky, salty richness that complements the creamy filling.
  • Cream of Chicken Soup: Forms the luscious, comforting base for the filling.
  • Milk: Helps thin out the soup for a smoother texture and even baking.
  • Garlic Powder & Onion Powder: Enhance the savory flavor without overpowering the dish.
  • Salt & Pepper: Simple yet essential for seasoning the entire cobbler.
  • Baking Mix (like Bisquick): The shortcut to fluffy, tender biscuits without the fuss.
  • Cheddar Cheese (shredded): Melts into the biscuit topping for that extra cheesy bite.
  • Fresh Parsley (optional): Adds a pop of color and fresh herbal note for garnish.

How To Make the Yummy Chicken and Biscuit Cobbler

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2: Make the Chicken Filling

In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, mixed vegetables, cooked bacon, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed and creamy.

Step 3: Pour and Spread

Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spoon or spatula to spread it evenly.

Step 4: Mix the Biscuit Topping

In another bowl, mix baking mix, milk, and shredded cheddar cheese until a thick batter forms.

Step 5: Add the Biscuit Layer

Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough on top of the chicken mixture, covering the surface as evenly as possible. It’s okay if some filling peeks through—those spots get beautifully golden.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired before serving.


How to Serve and Store Yummy Chicken and Biscuit Cobbler

Serve this cobbler hot and fresh right out of the oven for maximum comfort. It’s perfect on its own, but a simple side salad or roasted green beans can add a touch of freshness to round out the meal. The biscuit topping makes this a complete dish, so no need for bread on the side—unless you’re going full carb celebration.

To store leftovers, allow the cobbler to cool completely before covering it tightly with foil or transferring it to an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through to preserve the biscuit texture. Microwaving works too, but the biscuits may soften.

Freezing tip: You can freeze the unbaked filling separately and then top with fresh biscuit batter when ready to bake.


Frequently Asked Questions

How can I make this recipe even faster?

Use rotisserie chicken and pre-cooked bacon. You can also mix the filling a day in advance and refrigerate it.

Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of baking mix?

Absolutely! If you have a favorite biscuit recipe, go for it. Just make sure the dough isn’t too wet or it won’t hold its shape during baking.

What can I substitute for cream of chicken soup?

Try a homemade roux-based sauce or use cream of mushroom for a twist in flavor. Greek yogurt and broth can work for a lighter option.

Can I make this dish vegetarian?

Yes—swap out the chicken and bacon for sautéed mushrooms, chickpeas, or your favorite plant-based protein. Use cream of mushroom soup for the base.

Will this recipe work in a smaller dish?

Yes, but you may need to reduce the quantity slightly and adjust the bake time. Keep an eye on the biscuit topping for doneness.
