Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small yellow onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 medium potato peeled and diced small
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter diced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2/3 cup whole milk
Instructions
- Start by melting the butter in a spacious saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, toss in the finely chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until they soften and release a delightful aroma.
- Next, add the diced potatoes and frozen mixed vegetables to the saucepan. Allow them to cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Incorporate the flour into the mixture and stir to coat the vegetables evenly. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and whole milk, ensuring a smooth consistency.
- Add the salt, black pepper, and dried thyme to the mixture. Keep simmering the filling, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the potatoes are tender.
- Transfer the hearty chicken and vegetable filling into a greased 9×13 baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Cut in the cold cubed unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and gradually add the milk, mixing just until combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the warm filling and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 25–30 minutes.
- Once removed from the oven, let your Easy Chicken Pot Pie Cobbler sit for 5–10 minutes before serving.
