2. 3–4 cups rotisserie chicken, chopped
3. 12-ounce bag frozen peas and carrots (or mixed vegetables)
4. 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
5. 2 cups chicken broth
6. 1 teaspoon garlic powder
7. 1 teaspoon onion powder
8. ½ teaspoon black pepper
9. 1 (11.36-ounce) Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (seasoning packet reserved)
10. 2 cups milk (2% or higher)
11. ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

For the Butter Topping

1. 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
2. Seasoning packet from the biscuit mix

Equipment

1. 9×13-inch baking dish
2. Mixing bowls
3. Whisk
4. Measuring cups and spoons
5. Pastry brush

Instructions

Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the melted butter into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, tilting the dish slightly so the butter spreads evenly.

Step 2:
Spread the chopped rotisserie chicken evenly over the melted butter. Do not stir.

Step 3:
Sprinkle the frozen peas and carrots evenly over the chicken layer. Again, do not stir.

Step 4:
In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.

Step 5:
Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetable layers without stirring.

Step 6:
In another bowl, combine the biscuit mix, milk, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until well mixed. Do not add the seasoning packet yet.

Step 7:
Pour the biscuit mixture evenly over the layers in the baking dish. Do not stir.

Step 8:
Bake uncovered for 50–60 minutes, until the top becomes golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 9:
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the seasoning packet from the biscuit mix.

Step 10:
Remove the cobbler from the oven and brush the butter mixture over the top of the crust.

Step 11:
Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving so the filling can thicken slightly.
