Chicken Cobbler

One of the new viral recipes floating around the inter-webs is this chicken cobbler. We tried it out last night and got positive reviews from our family (with the exception of William not liking peas and carrots, but he just picked them out). It's an easy casserole-type meal where everything you need is in one bowl: meat, veggies, bread. Enjoy! (In this picture, I used up some bacon bits, which you can see on my spoon, and it was yummy too.)

Chicken Cobbler

Ingredients:

• 1 stick melted butter
• 3-4 cups shredded chicken (or one shredded rotisserie)
• 16 oz. frozen veggies
• seasoning of choice (salt, pepper, garlic powder, etc.)
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1 can chicken broth
• 1 pkg. Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix w/seasoning packet
• 2 cups milk

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Melt one stick of butter in a 9x13 pan. Top with chicken, then veggies, then season to taste. Mix together cream of chicken soup and chicken broth, and pour over veggies. Do not stir. Next, mix Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix and included seasoning packet with 2 cups of milk. Pour over veggies. Do not stir. Bake for 30 minutes, or until top is golden brown and filling is bubbly.

Marsha's Notes:

• I cooked a bag of frozen chicken breasts in the Instant Pot and then shredded it and layered enough chicken in my 9x13 to nicely cover the bottom of the pan, and then froze the rest of the shredded chicken. You can also just use one precooked rotisserie chicken to get your shredded chicken. 
• I did not precook my frozen veggies. I used about a half a bag of frozen peas and carrots with a half a bag of frozen corn (because we don't like the frozen mix that includes green beans), but you can use whatever veggies you want. Just do a nice layer over the chicken. For William, I might just make one end of the pan corn and then do peas and carrots over the other 2/3-3/4's of the pan. 
• Lastly, some recipes suggest adding about a 1/2 cup shredded cheese to the biscuit batter before pouring it over the casserole. I can't see why that would be anything but a good idea, but have not done it yet.
