Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

6 tablespoons melted butter, divided
4 cups rotisserie chicken, diced
1 (12-ounce) bag frozen peas and carrots
1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup, low sodium
1 ½ cups chicken broth, low sodium
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 (11-ounce) box Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (set aside the seasoning packet)

2 cups whole milk
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
Pour 4 tablespoons of melted butter into a 9x13-inch baking dish or 12-inch oven-safe skillet. Tilt to coat the bottom evenly.
Layer the diced rotisserie chicken over the butter—do not stir.
Sprinkle the frozen peas and carrots evenly over the chicken. Again, do not stir.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the vegetables—do not stir.
In the same bowl, combine the biscuit mix (without the seasoning packet) with milk and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir just until combined.
Pour the biscuit mixture over the casserole—do not mix.
Bake uncovered for 50–55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
While baking, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter with the seasoning packet and fresh parsley.

Once the casserole is done, remove from the oven and brush the butter mixture over the top.
Let the casserole cool for 5–10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken.
Add salt to taste, if needed, and enjoy!

FAQs

Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?

Yes, just make sure they’re chopped small and lightly steamed so they cook evenly.

What kind of chicken works best?

Rotisserie chicken is easiest, but any cooked, shredded, or diced chicken will do.

Can I prepare this casserole ahead of time?

Yes, assemble the layers (without baking) and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Bake when ready to serve.

How do I prevent the biscuit topping from getting too brown?

If the top browns too quickly, tent the casserole loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.

Can I make this without the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix?

Yes, use your favorite biscuit mix and add shredded cheese and garlic powder for similar flavor.

Why shouldn’t I stir the layers?

The “no-stir” method ensures the layers bake evenly—forming a creamy bottom, savory filling, and crisp topping.

Can I use homemade cream of chicken soup?

Absolutely. Substitute with about 1 ¼ cups of homemade soup for a fresher, less processed option.

Is this casserole freezer-friendly?

Yes. Bake, cool completely, and freeze. Thaw and reheat in the oven for a quick meal later.

What sides go best with chicken cobbler?

Serve with a light green salad or roasted vegetables to balance the richness.

Add herbs like thyme or a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the sauce before baking.
