TikTok Chicken Cobbler
- Similar to a Southern chicken pot pie, a cobbler doesn’t have a bottom crust like a pie would, and they are so much easier to make using dollops of biscuit dough instead of a structured top crust.
- This tasty recipe is basically just prep and bake, all in the same casserole dish and with ready-made ingredients! Just add a simple salad with a tangy Caesar vinaigrette and dinner is served!
- This easy, homestyle dish will be your family’s new comfort food and tastes even better the next day when the flavors have blended even more!
Ingredients and Variations
Chicken: Leftover chicken can be cut into smaller pieces, fresh chicken can be shredded, or grab a whole rotisserie chicken and save tons of time!
Biscuits: DIY your own Red Lobster biscuits by blending 2 cups Bisquick mix, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder or Old Bay seasoning. Or simply cut a can of refrigerated biscuits into quarters and toss in Old Bay seasoning to coat.
Vegetables: Toss in your family’s favorite blend of frozen veggies, use up leftover roasted veggies, or clean out the vegetable crisper in the refrigerator and use them instead.
Sauce: Cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, or cream of celery soup works perfectly! Cream can be used instead of milk for an extra-rich gravy.
Variations: Sliced mushrooms, chopped celery, broccoli or cauliflower florets are great additions to chicken cobbler. Make it spicy and add ½ cup of salsa along with some cumin or taco seasoning for a Taco Night casserole! Or stir in a homemade Carolina BBQ sauce for a zesty buffalo-flavored dish!
How to Make Chicken Cobbler
- Melt butter in a casserole dish Add chicken, seasonings, and vegetables to the dish (as described in the recipe card below).
- Combine biscuit mix and milk and pour over chicken and vegetables.
- Whisk broth and soup until smooth and pour over the top of the biscuit mix.
- Bake until the top is golden brown.
Allow to rest before serving.
Pro Tips
- The amount of chicken doesn’t have to be exact, use more or less as desired. It’s okay to bulk up the dish with a can of drained Great Northern beans or even extra veggies.
- Don’t worry if the biscuit dough seems too watery or lumpy – it will still bake up just right!
- Feel free to substitute with beef, vegetable, or turkey broth.
- Sprinkle the top with extra cheese, then place it under the broiler once it’s baked through for an extra cheesy, bubbly topping!
- Why not assemble and bake a peach cobbler and bake both at the same time?
Storing and Reheating
- Keep leftover chicken cobbler covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat portions in the microwave well or reheat in a 350° F oven or 400°F in the air fryer to make the biscuit topping crispy again.
- Assemble, wrap, and freeze chicken cobbler for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking or reheating.

Chicken Cobbler
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter melted
- 3 chicken breasts shredded, about 4 cups, or from a rotisserie chicken
- ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning or 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 10-12 ounces frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, beans, corn, peas, OR your favorites), 2½-3 cups (1 small bag)
- 2 cups Red Lobster biscuit mix with seasoning packet (optional), or Bisquick biscuit mix
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup 1 can
- 2 teaspoons fresh parsley optional for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- To a 9×13 or similar casserole dish, add butter and pop into the preheating oven to melt, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the oven. Add chicken and sprinkle with poultry seasoning, onion powder, pepper, and vegetables.
- In a measuring cup or medium bowl, combine biscuit mix and milk (and seasoning packet if there is one). It’s OK if there are lumps. Pour over chicken and vegetables. Do not mix.
- In a measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together chicken broth and soup until smooth. Gently pour over biscuit mix. Do not mix. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon parsley if desired.
- Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes or until top is golden brown. It’ll be slightly jiggly in the center. Baking it 50 minutes will mean it is a little less saucy. Allow to rest 10-15 minutes before serving to set. Garnish with parsley if desired and serve.
