Why You’ll Love This Chicken Cobbler Dinner Casserole

This dish is comfort food at its finest. You get the creamy richness of a traditional pot pie but without the fuss of rolling out dough. It all comes together in one baking dish, making cleanup easy. The biscuit topping bakes up golden and fluffy, while the bottom layer stays creamy and loaded with chicken and veggies. It’s simple enough for a weeknight dinner but cozy enough to serve to guests.

What Kind of Chicken Should I Use?

This recipe is perfect for using up leftover rotisserie chicken, which adds an extra depth of flavor and saves time. If you don’t have any on hand, you can poach or roast a couple of chicken breasts or thighs, then shred or chop them. The key is to make sure the chicken is cooked and well-seasoned before adding it to the casserole.

Ingredients for the Chicken Cobbler Dinner Casserole

When making this Chicken Cobbler Dinner Casserole, you’ll find that every ingredient plays a comforting role in the final dish. The magic happens when creamy filling meets fluffy biscuit topping – and you only need simple, pantry-friendly staples.

• Cooked chicken: This is the base of the casserole. Use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken for convenience.
• Frozen mixed vegetables: No need for chopping; this blend adds color, texture, and nutrition.
• Cream of chicken soup: It brings a creamy consistency that binds everything together.
• Chicken broth: Helps create the sauce and deepens the savory flavor.
• Bisquick or biscuit mix: Forms that golden cobbler topping as it bakes.
• Milk: Combines with the biscuit mix to make the topping light and fluffy.
• Butter: Adds richness and helps form a lightly crisped, flavorful base.
• Seasonings: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a dash of dried thyme or parsley for balance and flavor depth.

How To Make the Chicken Cobbler Dinner Casserole

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2: Add the Butter Base

Melt the butter and pour it into the bottom of your baking dish. This will help the cobbler topping form a nice, crisp base.

Step 3: Layer the Filling

Evenly spread the cooked chicken over the melted butter, followed by the frozen mixed vegetables. Then, pour the cream of chicken soup over the top (do not stir).

Step 4: Pour the Biscuit Layer

In a separate bowl, whisk together the biscuit mix and milk until smooth. Pour this gently over the chicken mixture. Again, resist the urge to stir – the layers are part of what makes the magic.

Step 5: Add the Broth

Carefully pour the chicken broth over everything. Do not mix. This layering technique ensures that the biscuit topping forms on top while the bottom stays creamy.

Step 6: Bake Until Golden

Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving so the layers settle nicely.
