Can I Use Rotisserie Chicken for Chicken Cobbler?

Absolutely! Rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut for this casserole. It’s already cooked, flavorful, and easy to shred. You can also use leftover baked or grilled chicken. Just avoid anything heavily seasoned with bold spices (like Cajun or BBQ), as that can compete with the mellow, creamy flavors of the cobbler.

Ingredients for the Chicken Cobbler Dinner Casserole

• Shredded Chicken – The star of the dish! It provides the hearty protein and soaks up all the creamy goodness.
• Frozen Peas and Carrots – A colorful, classic combo that adds sweetness and a pop of texture.
• Frozen Corn – Adds a hint of crunch and bright flavor to the mix.
• Cream of Chicken Soup – Gives the base a creamy, savory richness. It’s the secret to that cozy flavor.
• Chicken Broth – Helps thin out the soup and infuse even more chicken flavor.
• Cheddar Cheese – Melted into the biscuit topping and sprinkled on top for that irresistible cheesy finish.
• Biscuit Mix (like Bisquick) – Forms the fluffy cobbler topping that bakes to a golden crown.
• Milk – Brings the biscuit dough together and keeps it tender.
• Butter – Melted in the pan before baking to create that crisp, buttery bottom layer.

How To Make the Chicken Cobbler Dinner Casserole

Step 1: Prep the Baking Dish

Melt butter in a 9×13 inch baking dish by placing it in the oven while preheating to 350°F. Swirl to coat the bottom.

Step 2: Layer the Chicken and Veggies

Evenly distribute the shredded chicken over the melted butter. Then scatter the peas, carrots, and corn on top. Do not stir.

Step 3: Pour the Biscuit Mixture

In a bowl, combine the biscuit mix with milk and half the shredded cheddar cheese. Pour this gently over the chicken and veggies, again without mixing.

Step 4: Add the Creamy Layer

Whisk together the cream of chicken soup with chicken broth, then pour this mixture evenly over everything in the baking dish. Still, no stirring—let the layers form as it bakes.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Sprinkle the remaining cheddar on top and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden and the cobbler is set in the middle. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble the casserole up to a day in advance, cover it tightly, and refrigerate. Let it come to room temperature before baking.

Can I use canned vegetables instead of frozen?

You can, but drain them well to avoid a watery base. Frozen gives the best texture and taste.

What other cheeses can I use?

Feel free to swap cheddar for Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or even pepper jack for a little heat.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Use dairy-free milk, vegan butter, and dairy-free cheese alternatives. Just be aware the flavor may shift slightly.

What can I serve with chicken cobbler?

Simple sides like green beans, roasted Brussels sprouts, or a garden salad work great.

Why shouldn’t I stir the layers?

The layering helps create the cobbler texture. Stirring would turn it into a soup instead of forming that golden biscuit topping.
