Tips & Tricks When Making This Chicken Pot Pie Cobbler
- Shredded Chicken – When a recipe calls for shredded chicken, I either boil the breasts or toss them in the crockpot on low for a few hours. When the chicken has an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, I remove them and let them rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Afterward, I shred the chicken using two forks or an electric mixer.
- Vegetables – Though this casserole is typically made with frozen peas and carrots, you can easily swap them out for your favorite veggies. After all, the best part of any recipe is making it the way your taste buds prefer!
- Don’t Mix – You will be tempted to stir the mixture together in the baking dish, but don’t! As it cooks, it all melds together perfectly. Just trust the process!
- Let It Rest – When it comes out of the oven, allow it to rest for about 15 minutes. This rest time will allow it to thicken up a bit so that it isn’t soupy when you go to serve it.
Even though this dish technically already has a biscuit topping, I highly recommend enjoying it with bread to sop up the delicious sauce! Try our Easy Garlic Knots recipe to go with it!
How Do I Store Leftover Chicken Cobbler Casserole?
Either wrap the casserole dish tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the leftovers into an airtight container. Then store them in the fridge to enjoy for up to 3 to 4 days.
Can I Make This Recipe Pie Dishes Instead Of One Baking Dish?
Yes, you could make this recipe into two 9-inch pie plates instead of one 9X13 baking dish. It just may be challenging to try to split the ingredients equally between the two.
Where Can I Find Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuit Dry Mix?
Check your local grocery store, as mine does carry it. If you don’t have any luck there, Walmart and Target are known to have it as well.
Can Cream Of Mushroom Soup Be Used In Place Of Cream Of Chicken Soup?
Yes, cream of chicken can be swapped out for cream of mushroom. Just make sure to use the same amount! Also, keep in mind that it will alter the final taste of the recipe but still be super delicious!
Recipe Notes
We changed the recipe a little bit by reducing the amount of broth in the recipe to prevent it from being too liquidy (the photos in this post depict the original 2 cups of broth). We also found that reversing the order in which the broth and biscuit mix was added gave the casserole a crunchier biscuit topping as opposed to a soft one, my family much preferred this!

I’m so excited To try this recipe.
Does it really take 4 pounds of chicken?! That seems like an awful lot! Has anyone use less?

You can use less.
I don’t know what I did wrong but it was mush
New family favorite “dump” is easy to make and the kids can help!
Trust the process!! It cooks up beautifully and tastes AMAZING!! Will definitely be making again.
This was good. My 13 year old rated it a 6, my 15 year old rated it an 8, and I would have said about an 8 as well, makes it a solid family 7 which works for a quick weekday meal. In the future I would use the full 2 cups of chicken broth (felt like it could have used more gravy), and I would likely add some additional spices to the mix as it ate a little boring, but it was good as is and could easily be made better.
