INGREDIENTS
For the Chicken Filling:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup frozen corn
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
For the Biscuits:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
3/4 cup milk
DIRECTIONS
Make the Chicken Filling:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
3. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
4. Stir in the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, peas, and corn. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
5. Stir in the parsley and set aside.
Make the Biscuits:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Cut in the chilled butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually stir in the milk until just combined. Don't overmix!
4. Drop the biscuit dough by spoonfuls onto the top of the chicken filling.
Bake the Chicken Cobbler:
1. Bake the cobbler for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
2. Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy your warm and comforting chicken cobbler!
Tips for a Perfect Chicken Cobbler:
Use fresh herbs if you have them on hand. They'll add a wonderful flavor to your dish.
Don't overmix the biscuit dough. This will result in tough biscuits.
If you want a crispier crust, brush the biscuits with melted butter before baking.
Serve the chicken cobbler with a side of your favorite vegetables, like green beans or broccoli.
Variations:
For a spicier cobbler, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the chicken filling.
Add some shredded cheddar cheese to the biscuit dough for a cheesy twist.
Use leftover cooked chicken to save time.
Storage:
Leftover chicken cobbler can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, simply microwave for 1-2 minutes, or bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes.
