I’ve always had a soft spot for hearty, homey dishes that warm you from the inside out.

Things like chicken and dumplings, that remind you of cozy Sunday dinners at your grandma’s house.

My oven baked chicken and dumplings casserole recipe is one of my favorite dishes, but I also love experimenting with recipes to put a different spin on them from time to time.

That’s how this easy chicken cobbler with Red Lobster biscuits came to be. It’s a delicious twist on the classic comfort food dish that’s been a staple in my family for years.

Perfect for busy days, it’s a go-to recipe that can be prepared with frozen veggies and leftover chicken, making it a quick and convenient choice for those seeking a hearty, homemade meal in a hurry.

This dish is the epitome of comfort food, promising to warm your heart and satisfy your taste buds with every comforting bite.

What Makes This Chicken Pot Pie Cobbler Stand Out

This creamy chicken cobbler is like the culinary lovechild of chicken and dumplings and a pot pie casserole.

The thicker, biscuit-like crust takes this comfort food classic to a whole new level!

Instead of the usual self-rising flour for the topping, I’ve swapped it out for Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix.

The result? A flaky, buttery crust that’s to die for.

And let’s not forget about the filling!

We’re talking more chicken, more veggies, and more of that savory, soul-soothing gravy that makes every bite a little piece of heaven.

One of the things I absolutely adore about this creamy chicken cobbler with Red Lobster biscuits is its versatility and convenience.

So, whether it’s a hectic weeknight or a lazy Sunday afternoon, this casserole has your back, ensuring that comfort food is always just a few steps away.

You can easily make it using frozen veggies straight from your freezer and leftover chicken from a previous meal.

You know those inexpensive rotisserie chickens from the grocery store? Perfection!

It’s a fantastic way to reduce food waste and turn those leftovers into something truly delightful.

With a few simple pantry staples and minimal prep, you can have a warm, satisfying meal on the table in no time.

Build the casserole. Next, once the butter is melted, you’ll remove the baking dish from oven and tilt the dish to allow the butter to coat the bottom.

This savory cobbler is basically a complete meal on its own.

But if you want to serve something else alongside it, try a simple green salad or one of these side dishes for chicken and dumplings.

Notes and Adaptations:

  • You can choose to use 1 cup (a half batch) of thishomemade cream of chicken soupor canned cream of chicken soup. If you use canned, you do not need to add any water to the soup.
  • I used Red Lobster biscuit mix for the buttery biscuit topping, but you can try a different variety if preferred. You’ll need abut 2 cups of biscuit mix.
  • I don’t add any cheddar cheese to the biscuit mix, but if you’d like to, you can!
  • Leftovers should be refrigerated. Store tightly covered with plastic wrap in the baking dish or transfer to an airtight container.
  • The choice of vegetable is up to you. I used peas and carrots, but you could also use mixed vegetables.
