Rotisserie chicken means no extra prep, but still gives you juicy, tender meat every time.
The soup and broth turn into a rich, creamy gravy that makes the whole dish taste like you worked a lot harder than you did.
This viral chicken cobbler has been trending on TikTok so we brought it into our kitchen and made it something special. While most versions use pancake mix, our recipe swaps in Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuit mix for real Cheddar Bay biscuit flavor and crunch.
Plus our soup and chicken broth pairing adds extra depth so each bite is creamier and more flavorful than your typical TikTok copycat.

Ingredients
Gather the ingredients to prepare our Chicken Cobbler recipe. Culinary professionals call this the “Mise en Place,” which means “everything in its Place.”
Setting up your ingredients not only helps speed up the cooking process but also ensures you have all the necessary ingredients on hand to make the recipe.
Can I Change Up the Recipe?
Absolutely. This recipe is flexible, forgiving, and always a hit, no matter what’s in your fridge.
We made our chicken cobbler with rotisserie chicken to save time, but cooked chicken breasts or leftover turkey work just as well.
Frozen mixed vegetables keep it easy, though fresh or canned green beans will get the job done too.
No Red Lobster mix? Use your favorite biscuit mix or go homemade if you’re feeling fancy. Whole milk, buttermilk, or half-and-half all make great options for the biscuit batter.
Want a little extra flavor? Add a pinch of Old Bay seasoning to the soup mix or toss some extra cheddar on top of the cobbler before it bakes.
How to Make Chicken Cobbler
Follow along with my simple step-by-step instructions to learn how to make chicken cobbler in your home kitchen.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Add the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to a large bowl.
- Whisk until smooth.
- Add the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix, seasoning packet from the mix, shredded cheddar, and milk to a separate bowl.
- Mix until well blended to form the biscuit mixture.
- Melt the butter and pour into a 9×13 baking dish, spread evenly.
- Add shredded chicken in a single layer over the top of the melted butter.
- Sprinkle the frozen vegetables in an even layer on top of the chicken layer. Do not stir.
- Pour the soup mixture gently over the chicken and veggies, do not stir.
- Pour the biscuit mixture evenly over the chicken, veggies and liquids. Gently spread the mixture with an offset or rubber spatula.
- Place on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 55-65 minutes, until medium golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven. It will look runny in the middle. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes before serving. The sauce will continue to thicken.
This easy chicken cobbler is the kind of cozy meal that deserves a spot at your next family dinner or casual get together.
Just be warned, after one bite you might find yourself making it every week by popular demand.
How to Store and Reheat
Let the cobbler cool to room temp, then pack up any leftovers in an airtight container and pop it in the fridge. It’ll keep well for up to 4 days.
For reheating, the microwave works fine for a quick fix, but if you want that biscuit topping to stay crisp, warm it in the oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes.
To freeze, wrap it up tight in plastic wrap and foil, then stash it in the freezer for up to 2 months. Just thaw it in the fridge overnight before reheating, and you’re good to go.
Recipe FAQs
That’s totally normal right out of the oven. The sauce thickens as it rests, so give it 10 to 15 minutes before digging in.
Absolutely. Just chop them into bite-sized pieces and give them a quick sauté or steam until slightly tender before layering, so they cook through evenly.
You can prep the layers in advance, but wait to pour on the biscuit batter until you’re ready to bake. That keeps the topping light and fluffy instead of soggy.
