Melty, golden biscuits on top, creamy chicken stew underneath—this TikTok Chicken Cobbler layers rotisserie chicken, frozen veggies, cream of chicken soup, and that famous Cheddar Bay biscuit mix into one gloriously cozy skillet.
It smells like Sunday dinner snuck into a weeknight, and tastes like a soup, a casserole, and a biscuit had a perfect little dinner party. Kind of impossible not to love.
There’s something effortlessly comforting about this TikTok chicken cobbler—like pie’s savory cousin with zero crust stress. It’s that magical kind of dish where you barely have to think, you just stir, stack, and pour. The cheesy biscuit topping gets all puffed up and golden, while the bottom stays soft and soaks up that creamy, savory broth. It’s tender, roasty chicken, sweet peas and carrots, gentle garlic heat, and a little buttery bliss in every bite. Ideal for lazy Sundays or those Tuesdays where you open the fridge, sigh dramatically, and wish dinner would just assemble itself.

Ingredient Notes
This isn’t a complex dish, but the little details make all the difference. Let’s break down what’s going in there (and what you can tweak if needed).
- Salted butter: This forms a sneaky-delicious base layer. It adds richness and that brown-edged butter flavor, so don’t skimp.
- Rotisserie chicken: Pre-cooked and shredded saves time. You want a mix of white and dark meat if you can swing it.
- Frozen peas and carrots: No chopping, no peeling, just dump and go. They add sweetness, texture, and color.
- Salt and pepper: Season to taste. Don’t underestimate the importance of layering that flavor!
- Garlic powder: Optional, but adds a gentle, familiar heat that wakes everything up.
- Milk: Helps loosen the biscuit mix. Whole milk adds richness, but 2% works fine.
- Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix and seasoning packet: The MVP. It bakes into a cheesy, fluffy topping that feels way fancier than it is. If you’re already a fan of these biscuits, you might also like this Red Lobster-inspired crab Alfredo.
- Chicken stock: Adds depth and helps make the “gravy.” Go low sodium if you’re being mindful.
- Cream of chicken soup: Creamy, salty, nostalgic—that classic condensed soup does a lot of the heavy lifting here.
How To Make This TikTok Chicken Cobbler
Get ready to feel like a kitchen wizard with minimal effort. This is one of those “dump it and forget it” situations, and I am here for it.
-
Preheat your oven and melt the butter: Set the oven to 350°F. Drop the butter into a 9×13-inch dish and pop it right into the oven. By the time you’ve gathered the rest of the ingredients, it’ll be all melted and making your kitchen smell very promising.
-
Layer in the chicken and veggies: Pull the pan out carefully (that butter’s hot!) and scatter your shredded rotisserie chicken in a single layer. Sprinkle the peas and carrots on top. Season with salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder if you’re into that.
-
Whisk up the biscuit mix: In a bowl, mix the biscuit blend, seasoning packet, and milk. It’ll look like a thick pancake batter. Pour it right over the chicken and veggies—but don’t stir it. I know it feels wrong, but trust the process.
-
Whisk together the broth layer: In another bowl, stir the chicken stock and cream of chicken soup until smooth. Slowly pour that over everything. Seriously, no stirring. The magic happens in layers, like dipping a croissant in soup (but less messy).
-
Bake and let it set: Pop it in the oven, uncovered, for about 45–50 minutes. The top will puff up and turn a glorious golden brown. Let it sit 10 to 15 minutes after baking so the layers settle; it’ll serve up like a savory scoop of magic.
Storage Options
Leftovers? Oh, absolutely worth saving. This TikTok chicken cobbler stores like a champ. Let it cool to room temp first (don’t just slam the whole hot dish into the fridge… I’ve done it, regretted it).
In the fridge, it’ll keep well for 3 to 4 days in a sealed container. You can microwave a portion to warm it up, but I like re-crisping the biscuit top in the oven or toaster oven for 5 to 10 minutes at 350°F. It brings back the fluff and a little crunch.
Freezer-wise, you’re golden too. Divide into portions if you want easy single meals later. Wrap tightly or use airtight freezer containers. Reheat straight from frozen in the microwave or let it thaw overnight in the fridge first. Either way, it miraculously doesn’t go mushy.
Variations and Substitutions
Want to riff on things? This recipe’s flexible, like your favorite sweatpants but warmer. Here are a few tasty directions.
-
Veggie swap: No peas and carrots? Try frozen corn, green beans, or broccoli. Just make sure they’re thawed if you’re using bigger pieces.
-
Different biscuit mix: If you can’t find the Cheddar Bay mix, a regular biscuit mix like Bisquick with added shredded cheese and garlic salt works great.
-
Cream of mushroom soup: Adds earthy depth if you’re feeling fancy or just out of cream of chicken.
-
Shredded turkey: This is a killer way to use up leftovers from Thanksgiving or a big roast.
-
Spice things up: Add a pinch of cayenne or hot sauce to your biscuit mix or stock to bring a little heat.
What to Serve with TikTok Chicken Cobbler
This dish kinda serves as its own main event, but if you’re feeling like adding a little something, these sides hit just right.
-
If you want something crisp and light, a vinegary crunch is the perfect contrast. Try a quick cucumber salad with sesame and soy to cut through the creaminess.
-
A simple mixed greens salad with lemon vinaigrette gives you fresh vibes to balance all the rich biscuit goodness.
-
Roasted Brussels sprouts or green beans tossed with lemon zest and olive oil? Yes please. Just a hint of char gives nice contrast.
-
Want dessert after this warm, nostalgic dinner? Something chill and sweet like these banana ice cream sandwiches are a fun, low-effort way to cap it off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to cook the biscuit mix before adding it?
Nope! Just mix it with the milk and pour it over the chicken and veggies. It will bake and puff up beautifully in the oven without any pre-cooking.
Can I use a different protein instead of chicken?
Absolutely. Shredded turkey works great, especially around the holidays. Or use cooked sausage if you want something more savory and bold—it changes the vibe, but in a fun way.
What if I can’t find the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix?
Don’t panic! A regular biscuit mix like Bisquick will work fine. Just stir in some shredded cheddar and a pinch of garlic powder or seasoned salt to mimic the flavor.
Can I make this in advance?
You can absolutely prep the layers a few hours early and keep the unbaked dish covered in the fridge. Just let it sit out for 20 minutes before baking to take the chill off and bake as normal.
