Crafting Your Cobbler: A Step-by-Step Guide
Creating the perfect chicken cobbler is easier than you might think. Here’s how to do it:
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the stick of butter in a 9-by-13-inch pan and let it melt as the oven heats up.
- Layering: Once the butter has melted, spread the shredded chicken in an even layer at the bottom of the pan. Layer the frozen vegetables over the chicken, seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic as desired.
- The Cobbler Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the milk and biscuit mix along with any seasoning packet included. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Then, whisk together the chicken stock and cream of chicken soup and pour it over as another layer. Do not mix the layers.
- Baking: Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes. The cobbler may look runny at first, but allowing it to sit for 10-15 minutes after baking will thicken it to the perfect consistency.
