Rotisserie chicken may be one of the most underrated prepared foods. Or, foods in general. So, when I scrolled upon TikTok’s latest cooking hack for chicken cobbler, I had to give it a go. This casserole takes the classic chicken pot pie and gives it a busy weeknight dinner makeover. It utilizes prepared chicken, frozen vegetables, pre-made chicken soup, biscuit mix, and precooked fried onions to create a rich meal that tastes like it took all day, but comes together in just an hour.

How to Make Chicken Cobbler

This recipe requires little to no prep with only a few dishes to clean in the end. Rotisserie chicken is layered on top of melted butter followed by straight-from-the-freezer veggies. We pour the biscuit batter right over top followed by chicken broth and cream of chicken soup. Allowing the biscuits to bake into the soup mixtures creates a tender, creamy topping, but if you prefer a crisper biscuit top then you can simply swap the order of steps four and five.

Amping Up the Flavor

The addition of Old Bay seasoning complements all the flavors we love about traditional chicken pot pie with notes of celery salt, paprika, mustard, clove, and more. I used taco cheese because I like the blend of cheeses for even more pizazz. It’s all finished with crispy fried onions for an umami-packed bite.

How to Serve Chicken Cobbler

Serve this on its own, with a crisp salad, or a simple veggie side. Leftovers heat up well in the microwave or oven for an easy lunch or dinner the next day.

Tips for Making Chicken Cobbler

• Use a stand mixer to shred chicken—To quickly shred the chicken, separate the chicken from the bones and place it in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Turn the mixer on low for 15 to 20 seconds or until the chicken is shredded.
• Save the chicken bones to make chicken stock—You can freeze them in a zip-top bag until you have enough to make stock.
• Melt the butter in the baking dish—To melt the butter without dirtying another pan, place the stick of butter in the baking dish and place in the oven for 5 minutes or until melted. Then proceed with the recipe.
• Prevent drips—This casserole is filled right to the top, so place the baking dish on a baking sheet to prevent any spilling in the oven.
• Trust the process—Once all the ingredients are in the baking dish, it will look like a lot of liquid but it will come together during baking.
