Cook time: 45 min
Total time: 55 min
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 cups cooked shredded chicken; 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables; 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup; 1 cup chicken broth; 1 cup buttermilk biscuit mix; 1 cup milk or buttermilk; 1 cup shredded cheese (optional); 1/2 cup melted butter

Looking for the ultimate cozy dinner that tastes like a warm hug in casserole form? Chicken Cobbler Dinner Casserole is your answer. Creamy shredded chicken, hearty vegetables, and a buttery biscuit topping come together in a bubbling, golden-brown bake that’s as comforting as it is crowd-pleasing.

This dish takes the nostalgic flavor of chicken pot pie and fuses it with the ease of a dump-and-bake casserole. Perfect for weeknight dinners, potlucks, or Sunday family meals, it delivers homestyle flavor with minimal prep. Plus, it’s endlessly adaptable—swap the chicken for turkey, use your favorite frozen veggies, or add a layer of cheese for extra richness.

What Kind of Biscuit Topping Should I Use?

The magic of this casserole lies in its biscuit topping. A store-bought biscuit mix like Red Lobster Cheddar Bay or classic Bisquick works beautifully, but feel free to make your own from scratch. The topping should be spooned on rather than spread, allowing the creamy filling to bubble up around the golden biscuits as it bakes. You’ll end up with a luscious, buttery topping that contrasts perfectly with the savory interior.

Ingredients for the Chicken Cobbler Dinner Casserole

Cooked Chicken: The hearty base of this dish. Shredded rotisserie chicken saves time and adds richness.

Frozen Mixed Vegetables: Adds texture, color, and nutrition. Use any combination of carrots, peas, corn, and green beans.

Cream of Chicken Soup: Creates that signature creamy filling. You can also use cream of mushroom or celery for a twist.

Chicken Broth: Loosens up the filling and infuses more chicken flavor.

Buttermilk Biscuit Mix: For the fluffy, buttery cobbler topping. Adds a warm, golden finish to the dish.

Milk or Buttermilk: Helps bring the biscuit mix together and adds tanginess if using buttermilk.

Shredded Cheese (optional): Adds extra gooeyness and flavor if desired.

Butter: Melted and poured over the biscuit topping before baking to create that beautiful golden crust.

How To Make the Chicken Cobbler Dinner Casserole

Step 1: Layer the Chicken and Veggies

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Spread cooked shredded chicken evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer the frozen mixed vegetables over the chicken.

Step 2: Add the Creamy Filling

In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables. Do not stir.

Step 3: Mix the Biscuit Topping

In a separate bowl, combine the biscuit mix and milk (or buttermilk) until just combined. Gently spoon this batter over the top of the casserole. Again, do not stir.

Step 4: Add Butter and Bake

Drizzle melted butter evenly over the biscuit layer. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

How to Serve and Store Chicken Cobbler Dinner Casserole

Serve this casserole hot straight from the oven. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before scooping to allow the filling to thicken slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of paprika for a pop of color.

To store, let leftovers cool completely, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture, or microwave for convenience.
