Mixing Bowls: Essential for combining the biscuit topping and mixing filling ingredients.
Whisk: Ideal for blending the sauce smoothly.
Spatula or Wooden Spoon: Handy for stirring the filling and spreading the topping.
Measuring Cups & Spoons: Accurate measuring helps maintain consistency in flavor and texture.
Cutting Board and Sharp Knife: For prepping vegetables or chopping cooked chicken.

Set these out before starting, and your cooking flow will be smoother and much quicker.

Ingredients for the Easy Chicken Pot Pie Cobbler

Each ingredient in this cobbler plays an important role in building flavor and texture:

Cooked Shredded Chicken: The protein base; use rotisserie or leftover roasted chicken for ease.
Frozen Mixed Vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans): Saves time and adds sweetness and texture.
Butter: Adds richness to the filling and helps flavor the biscuit topping.
Flour: Used to thicken the sauce.
Chicken Broth: Creates the savory base for the creamy filling.
Milk: Balances the broth and gives the sauce its silky texture.
Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Salt & Pepper: For depth of flavor.
Baking Mix (like Bisquick): The base of the biscuit topping; quick and reliable.
More Milk & Butter (for biscuit topping): Ensures a fluffy, rich topping with that classic cobbler texture.

How To Make the Easy Chicken Pot Pie Cobbler

Step 1: Make the Filling Base

Melt butter in your skillet or saucepan. Add flour and whisk until it forms a smooth roux. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk, whisking constantly until smooth and thickened.

Step 2: Season and Load the Filling

Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add in the frozen vegetables and shredded chicken. Simmer everything until heated through and well blended. Pour this into your baking dish if not using a skillet.

Step 3: Prepare the Cobbler Topping

In a bowl, mix the baking mix with milk and melted butter until just combined. Don’t overmix—you want a thick, spoonable batter.

Step 4: Assemble and Bake

Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit batter evenly over the top of the chicken filling. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until the topping is golden and cooked through.

Serving and Storing Your Easy Chicken Pot Pie Cobbler

This cobbler is best served warm, straight from the oven. Scoop generously into shallow bowls so every serving gets a balance of creamy filling and crisp-topped biscuit.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, use the oven to keep the topping from becoming soggy. This dish also freezes well—just bake from frozen at 350°F, covered with foil for 20 minutes, then uncovered until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use rotisserie chicken?

Absolutely. It saves time and brings great flavor to the dish.

What if I don’t have baking mix?

You can make your own by combining flour, baking powder, salt, and a bit of butter or shortening.

Can I use fresh vegetables?

Yes, but make sure to par-cook them before adding to the filling so they soften properly in the bake.

Is this dish freezer-friendly?

Yes. You can freeze before baking (add biscuit topping fresh) or after baking and reheat later.

Can I make it dairy-free?

Swap the milk with unsweetened almond milk and use plant-based butter for a dairy-free version.

How do I know the cobbler is done?

The top should be golden brown and firm to the touch. You can insert a toothpick into the biscuit topping—if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
