Equipment

  • Large skillet or Dutch oven
  • Mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon
  • 9x13-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
 

  • Preheat the Oven
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • 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.
  • 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 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Serve
  • Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. Scoop generous portions onto plates and enjoy!
