Why You’ll Love This Easy Chicken Pot Pie Cobbler

  • One pan magic: The filling and biscuit topping bake together in one dish for convenience.
  • Biscuit-topped bliss: Buttery, golden biscuits soak up the rich, creamy filling underneath.
  • No pie crust required: No rolling, chilling, or fussing. Just scoop, drop, and bake.
  • Rotisserie shortcut: Using pre-cooked chicken saves tons of time without skimping on flavor.
  • Hearty and satisfying: A filling and nourishing meal that hits all the comfort food notes.

What Kind of Chicken Should I Use?

For convenience, rotisserie chicken is ideal in this recipe. It’s tender, flavorful, and pre-cooked, making prep a breeze. However, you can also use any leftover cooked chicken breast or thighs. If you prefer turkey, it’s a great substitute, especially around the holidays.


Ingredients for the Easy Chicken Pot Pie Cobbler

  • Cooked Chicken: This is the heart of the dish. Rotisserie or any pre-cooked chicken works beautifully.
  • Frozen Mixed Vegetables: Adds color, texture, and nutrition without the need for chopping.
  • Yellow Onion: Builds a flavor base when sautéed in butter.
  • Garlic: Adds savory depth and richness.
  • Butter: Used to sauté the onion and garlic and add richness to the sauce.
  • All-Purpose Flour: Helps thicken the creamy filling.
  • Chicken Broth: Adds body and enhances the chicken flavor in the sauce.
  • Milk: Creates the creamy base for the filling.
  • Salt and Pepper: Essential for seasoning every layer.
  • Bisquick Baking Mix: Forms the cobbler topping with ease.
  • Additional Milk and Butter: Combined with Bisquick to make the biscuit batter.

How To Make the Easy Chicken Pot Pie Cobbler

Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 diced yellow onion and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

Step 2: Build the Sauce

Sprinkle 1/3 cup all-purpose flour over the onion mixture and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of chicken broth and 1 cup of milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.

Step 3: Add Chicken and Veggies

Stir in 3 cups of cooked, shredded chicken and 2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Simmer for a few minutes until everything is heated through, then pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 4: Make the Biscuit Topping

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups Bisquick mix, 2/3 cup milk, and 4 tablespoons melted butter. Stir until just combined (don’t overmix). Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken filling.

Step 5: Bake Until Golden

Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake the cobbler uncovered for 25-28 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.


How to Serve This Cozy Cobbler

This Easy Chicken Pot Pie Cobbler is a full meal in itself—protein, veggies, and carbs in one dish. Serve it straight from the oven with a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top for color. It comfortably feeds 6 people, making it great for family dinners or meal prep.


How to Store Leftovers

Let leftovers cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, cover with foil and warm in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes or microwave individual portions. The biscuits may soften slightly, but the flavor remains comforting and delicious.

To freeze, portion the cooled cobbler into airtight freezer-safe containers. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.


Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! Prepare the filling and refrigerate it for up to 2 days. When ready to bake, top with fresh biscuit dough and bake as instructed.

Can I use canned vegetables instead of frozen?
Yes, just be sure to drain them well. Frozen veggies hold their texture better during baking, but canned works in a pinch.

What if I don’t have Bisquick?
You can make your own mix with flour, baking powder, salt, and butter. Or use refrigerated biscuit dough, but adjust baking time as needed.

Is this recipe gluten-free?
Not as written, but you can substitute gluten-free baking mix and flour to accommodate dietary needs.

Can I add cheese to the biscuit topping?
Absolutely. Stir in 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar or parmesan for a cheesy twist on the topping.
