Ingredients

For the Cobbler:

4 Tablespoons Butter melted
4 cups Cooked Chicken shredded into bite size pieces
½ teaspoon Black Pepper
½ teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
12 ounces Frozen Peas and Carrots
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup 10.5 ounces
1 cup Chicken Broth
1 box Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix 11.36 ounces, (seasoning packet reserved)
2 cups Milk
½ cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

For the Topping:

2 Tablespoons Butter melted
Seasoning Packet from the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Pour 4 tablespoons melted butter into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish and spread it evenly to cover the bottom of the pan.
Layer 4 cups cooked chicken (shredded into bite-size pieces) evenly over the melted butter. Do not stir.
Sprinkle ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder evenly over the chicken, then spread 12 ounces frozen peas and carrots over the top.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup and 1 cup chicken broth until smooth.
Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken and peas and carrots. Do not stir together and just layer the ingredients.
In another mixing bowl, stir together 1 box (11.36 ounces) Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (reserve the seasoning packet for the topping), 2 cups milk, and ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese until combined.
Pour the biscuit mixture evenly on top of the other ingredients in the baking dish.
Bake for 50-60 minutes until the entire top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons melted butter and the seasoning packet from the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix.
Brush the topping evenly over the top of the cobbler.
Allow the cobbler to rest for 10-15 minutes.
Then it's ready to serve and enjoy!

Notes

Recipe Tips

Rest Cobbler - Do not serve the cobbler before allowing it to rest as the cobbler will be too runny so make sure to let it sit before serving.
Cooking Time - Make sure that the entire top of the casserole is golden brown not just the edges as the center of the topping could still be runny and not set yet. Cooking time will vary.
No Stirring - Layer ingredients as instructed to create that classic cobbler effect.

Variations Ideas

Change the Meat - This is a great recipe to use leftover turkey from your Thanksgiving feast.
Change the Spices - Use taco seasoning in the biscuit batter and top with jalapeños for a Mexican twist.
Cream Filling - Add ½ cup sour cream to the filling.
Individual Cobblers - Bake in ramekins for personal servings.
