Chicken Cobbler Pot Pie

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This recipe puts a delicious twist on classic chicken pot pie by swapping the traditional crust for a cobbler-style biscuit topping. It’s much easier to assemble and bake, yet still delivers all the creamy, savory goodness you expect from a pot pie. It’s rich, satisfying, and comes together with minimal effort, especially if you use rotisserie chicken and store-bought biscuit mix.

Ingredients

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

  • Cooked, shredded chicken (such as rotisserie chicken)
  • Frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, green beans)
  • Cream of chicken soup
  • Chicken broth
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Salt and pepper
  • Biscuit baking mix (like Bisquick)
  • Milk
  • Melted butter
  • Optional: shredded cheddar cheese or herbs for added flavor

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Spread the shredded chicken evenly in the bottom of the dish.
  3. Top with an even layer of frozen mixed vegetables.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup and chicken broth. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables. Do not stir.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine biscuit mix with milk. Stir until smooth and pour gently over the top of the casserole. Again, do not mix.
  7. Drizzle melted butter over the biscuit batter.
  8. Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden and cooked through and the filling is bubbling.
  9. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
