Cheddar Bay Chicken Cobbler

Step 2: Make the Filling

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
2. Add diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5–6 minutes until the vegetables soften.
3. Stir in the shredded chicken, salt, pepper, and paprika. Sprinkle the flour over everything and stir well to coat — this helps thicken the mixture.
4. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly. Let it simmer for 3–4 minutes until it starts to thicken.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and frozen peas. Cook another 2–3 minutes until creamy and bubbling.
6. Remove from heat and pour the filling into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 3: Prepare the Biscuit Topping

1. In a large bowl, combine the Cheddar Bay biscuit mix, milk, and shredded cheddar. Stir until just combined (don’t overmix or the biscuits will be tough).
2. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken mixture in the baking dish. It doesn’t have to cover completely — it will spread and puff as it bakes.

Step 4: Bake the Cobbler

• Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden and the filling is bubbling around the edges.

Step 5: Add the Buttery Topping

1. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder (use the seasoning packet from the Cheddar Bay mix if available).
2. When the cobbler is done baking, immediately brush the tops of the biscuits with this seasoned butter.

Step 6: Serve

• Let the cobbler rest for 5–10 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm. It pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed green beans.

✨ Tips for Success

• For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne or some chopped jalapeños to the filling.
• Swap peas for green beans or corn depending on your taste.
• Make it ahead: assemble the filling and refrigerate, then add the topping and bake when ready to eat.
