Can I use fresh chicken instead of cooked shredded chicken?

Yes, but make sure to cook and shred the chicken first before mixing it into the casserole to ensure even cooking.

Chicken Mixture

• 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
• 1 ½ cups milk
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
• ½ cup sour cream
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional)

Biscuit Topping

• 1 packet Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (plus ingredients listed on packet)
• 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp butter (melted)

Instructions

1. Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
2. Make the chicken mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, and cream of chicken soup until smooth. Add garlic powder, black pepper, frozen mixed vegetables, and shredded chicken. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
3. Fill the baking dish: Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly to create the base layer of the cobbler.
4. Prepare biscuit topping: In a separate bowl, prepare the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix according to the package instructions. Once the biscuit dough is ready, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese to add extra flavor.
5. Assemble topping: Drop spoonfuls of the prepared biscuit dough evenly over the chicken mixture, covering the surface but leaving small gaps where some chicken mixture shows through.
6. Add finishing touches: Drizzle the melted butter over the biscuit topping to help it brown and add richness. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top if desired for color and freshness.
7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the biscuits on top are golden brown and cooked through.
8. Rest and serve: Allow the cobbler to sit for 5 minutes after removing from the oven. This resting time helps the filling to set for easier serving.

Notes

• Ensure the shredded chicken is fully cooked before assembling the dish.
• You can substitute frozen mixed vegetables with fresh vegetables of your choice if preferred.
• If you want a crispier biscuit topping, you can broil for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end of baking – watch carefully to avoid burning.
• Fresh parsley is optional but adds a nice color contrast and mild herb flavor.
• Leftovers store well covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
