Ingredients
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour (for biscuits)
4 tablespoons butter (for filling)
1 yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
3 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup diced carrots
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
1. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large oven-safe skillet and sauté the diced yellow onion until translucent.
2. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, then stir in 1/3 cup of flour and cook for 1 minute.
3. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, letting the mixture simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
4. Stir in shredded chicken, peas, carrots, salt, pepper, and thyme. Simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until crumbly.
6. Stir in buttermilk until just combined to form a sticky biscuit dough.
7. Scoop biscuit dough in heaping spoonfuls over the filling, leaving space between each.
8. Transfer skillet to a 400°F preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown.
9. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Don’t overmix the biscuit dough—keep it crumbly for tender results.
Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving for best texture.
To add extra flavor, stir shredded cheddar into the biscuit mix before baking.
