Ingredients

For the Chicken Cobbler

Ingredient Quantity
Unsalted butter, melted ¼ cup (½ stick)
Cooked, shredded chicken 4 cups
Frozen mixed vegetables 1 bag (10 oz / 285 g)
Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (with seasoning packet) 1 box (11.36 oz / 322 g)

Chicken broth 2 cups

How to Make Cheddar-Style Chicken Cobbler

Step 1 — Prep the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2 — Build the Base Layer

Pour melted butter into the bottom of the dish.
Spread shredded chicken evenly over the butter.
Scatter the frozen vegetables on top.

Do not mix — layering creates the perfect cobbler effect.

Step 3 — Make the Biscuit Topping

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together:

  • Cheddar Bay biscuit mix

  • The included seasoning packet

  • Milk

Whisk until smooth, then pour the mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables. Do not stir.

Step 4 — Add the Gravy Layer

In the same bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth.
Pour gently over the biscuit layer.

Again: Do not stir.
The layers naturally separate and bake into a cobbler texture.

Step 5 — Bake

Bake uncovered for 45–55 minutes, or until:

  • The top is golden brown

  • The center is set but slightly jiggly

Step 6 — Rest and Serve

Let the cobbler rest for 10–15 minutes so the sauce thickens beautifully.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley if you’d like.
Serve warm and enjoy!

 Tips for the Best Chicken Cobbler

  • Use rotisserie chicken for fast prep and extra flavor

  • Don’t stir any of the layers — this is the secret to the cobbler texture

  • Add extra cheese to the biscuit mix for a gooey top

  • Use low-sodium broth/soup to control saltiness

  • Swap veggies with peas, corn, or diced carrots if preferred

Serving Suggestions

Pair your Chicken Cobbler with:
