Cooking Process of Savory Chicken Cobbler Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 lb (about 4) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp flour (for thickening)

For the Biscuit Topping:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 1 egg (optional, for brushing)

Instructions to Cook

Prepare the Filling:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat.
  3. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Add the carrots, peas, and corn to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and cream, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
  8. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and add the thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  9. Remove from heat and transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

Make the Biscuit Topping:

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using).
  2. 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.
  3. Pour in the milk or buttermilk and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken filling, covering most of the surface. If desired, brush the tops with a beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake:

  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving.
