Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 lb cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen corn (optional)
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup milk (or heavy cream for a richer sauce)
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Biscuit Topping
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ¾ cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tsp vinegar added)
Optional Garnish

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet or oven-safe pan over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion, garlic, and carrots. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, frozen peas, and frozen corn (if using). Cook for 2-3 minutes to combine.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir until evenly coated. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce.
- Add thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Biscuit Topping
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the buttermilk and mix gently until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
Step 3: Assemble the Cobbler
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the chicken filling, leaving small gaps for steam to escape.
- Place the skillet or pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 4: Serve and Garnish
- Remove the Chicken Cobbler from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
