Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 cups cooked shredded chicken
- Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 2 celery stalks, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen carrots
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
- Old Bay seasoning (optional)
- dried dill (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If your chicken isn't already cooked and shredded, do that now. Dice your onion, celery, and mince your garlic. Measure out your broth, milk, and flour. Have your frozen veggies ready.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat in a large, oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven. Add your diced onion and celery, and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour over the cooked vegetables. Stir constantly for about 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of chicken broth, then slowly add 1 cup of whole milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, and let it thicken for about 5 minutes.
- Once your sauce is thick, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in your cooked, shredded chicken, the frozen peas, carrots, and corn. Add 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together until the cheese is melted and all ingredients are well combined.
- If your skillet isn't oven-safe, transfer the chicken filling to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, prepare your Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix according to the package directions, typically involving combining the mix with water and adding the shredded cheddar cheese and seasoning packet. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Spoon dollops of the biscuit dough evenly over the hot chicken filling, leaving some gaps for the filling to peek through.
- Place the casserole in your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through, and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
- Once out of the oven, let the Cheddar Bay Chicken Cobbler Casserole rest for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
