Equipment:

• Large skillet or Dutch oven
• Mixing bowl
• Wooden spoon
• 9×13-inch baking dish
• Oven

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 large carrots, diced
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed (rotisserie chicken works well)
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup chicken broth
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Biscuit Topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
• ½ cup cold butter, cubed
• ¾ cup buttermilk

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven
   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Filling
   In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the frozen peas and cooked chicken, stirring to combine.
3. Add the Sauce
   Pour in the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth. Stir in the thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and pour the mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
4. Make the Biscuit Topping
   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and fresh thyme leaves (if using). Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the buttermilk and stir until a dough forms.
5. Top the Filling with Biscuits
   Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the chicken filling, covering as evenly as possible. Leave a little space between the dough to allow it to spread as it bakes.
6. Bake
   Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
7. Serve
   Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. Scoop generous portions onto plates and enjoy!

Presentation Ideas:

• Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley for a pop of color.
• Serve in shallow bowls or soup plates for a cozy presentation.
• Pair with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables on the side for a complete meal.

Tips:

• For added richness, add ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the biscuit dough.
• Substitute canned cream of mushroom soup for cream of chicken soup for a different flavor.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
