Ingredient Notes
This is a pantry-friendly, freezer-friendly kind of situation, but here’s what each part brings to the cobbler table.
- Unsalted butter: Helps create that sizzling, golden base layer. Salted could work too, just ease up on added salt elsewhere.
- Shredded rotisserie chicken: It’s convenient, juicy, and already seasoned. Perfect shortcut for a weeknight meal.
- Milk: Creates that pourable biscuit batter. Whole milk gives a richer result, but any milk will technically do.
- Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix: The MVP. Includes a seasoning packet that adds loads of garlicky, herby flavor.
- Frozen peas and carrots: No chopping, all comfort. Substitute with a frozen veggie mix if you’re feeling reckless.
- Chicken stock: Blends with the soup to create that silky, savory middle layer. Low-sodium lets you control flavor better.
- Cream of chicken soup: Don’t overthink it. It’s what makes the filling creamy, nostalgic, and super satisfying.
- Shredded cheddar cheese (optional): Optional, yes… but kind of amazing. Especially if you like a little gooey cheese in your cobbler pockets.
How To Make This TikTok Cheddar Bay Biscuit Chicken Cobbler
Okay, ready? Apron on, oven preheating, let’s do this together. This comes together in layers—no mixing, no stirring between—because biscuit science (and TikTok wisdom) says trust the process.
-
Melt the butter in your dish: Pop the stick of butter right into a 9×13-inch baking dish and toss it in the oven while it preheats to 350°F. Keep an eye on it—browned butter = great, but burnt butter = sad cobbler.
-
Mix up the biscuit batter: In a bowl, whisk together the biscuit mix, included seasoning packet, and milk until smooth. It’ll be a pourable batter—not too thick, not runny—kind of like pancake batter with ambition.
-
Layer the chicken and veggies: Once the butter’s melted, take the dish out and swirl it around to coat. Then evenly scatter the shredded rotisserie chicken across the bottom. On top of that, sprinkle your frozen peas and carrots. No need to thaw them; they’ll do their thing in the oven.
-
Sprinkle the cheese (if using): If you’re in a melty cheese mood (highly recommend), go ahead and toss that cup of shredded cheddar over the veggies.
-
Pour the biscuit batter on top: Gently, evenly pour it over the chicken and vegetables. The trick here is: don’t stir. Not even a little bit. Let the layers exist in peace; they bake up best that way.
-
Whisk the soup and stock: In another bowl, whisk the chicken stock and cream of chicken soup until smooth. Then pour it right over the top of everything. Again, resist the urge to stir. It looks weird now, but magic is coming.
-
Bake until golden and set: Into the oven it goes, uncovered, for 45 minutes. Your kitchen will smell like buttery biscuits and nostalgia. The top should be golden, the sides slightly bubbly.
-
Let it sit: This part’s important. Once out of the oven, give the cobbler 15 minutes to set. It’ll firm up, making it easier to scoop while keeping those dreamy layers intact.
Storage Options
So you’ve got leftovers? Good. This dish might even be better after a little fridge nap.
Let it cool to room temperature first (we’re not sealing steamy hot food). Then cover the dish tightly or transfer to airtight containers. It’ll last in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat it in the microwave or, if you want to regain that crispy biscuit top, pop it in a 325°F oven for about 10–15 minutes instead.
Now, can you freeze it? Yes, totally. For best results, freeze individual portions so you can grab one when the cozy craving hits. Let it thaw in the fridge and then reheat as above. Slight heads-up: the biscuit top may soften a bit, but honestly, it’s still deeply satisfying. A little mushy biscuit is never a dealbreaker in this house.
Variations and Substitutions
Not into peas? Want something spicier? There’s plenty of room to play here.
-
Use a different protein: Leftover turkey, shredded pork, or cooked ground beef all work well. Just keep the same quantity.
-
Add spice: If you like heat, mix a teaspoon of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne into the biscuit batter or cheese layer.
-
Try other frozen veggies: Corn, green beans, or a stir-fry mix (yeah, really) all fit. Just aim for about 12 ounces total.
-
Make it vegetarian: Use cooked mushrooms or canned white beans instead of chicken, and swap the cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom.
-
Swap the biscuit mix: Can’t find the Red Lobster box? Any cheddar or buttermilk biscuit mix will work—you can jazz it up with garlic powder and dried parsley.
-
Extra cheese layer: Feeling wildcard-ish? Swirl a few cream cheese dollops into the middle layer for major richness.
What to Serve with TikTok Cheddar Bay Biscuit Chicken Cobbler
Since this cobbler really covers the starch, protein, and veggie bases, you don’t need much on the side. But if you’re feeding a crowd or want to round things out, here are a few cozy ideas.
-
A crisp green salad with tart vinaigrette: Something about the freshness and acidity really balances the richness of the cobbler. Add sliced apples or dried cranberries in there if you’re feeling fancy.
-
A big batch of bacon basil cornbread muffins: Okay, yes, it’s biscuit and cornbread—that’s a lot of bread, but who’s judging? The bacon pops against the creaminess of the casserole.
-
Roasted green beans or asparagus: Just something simple and snappy to add a little crunch. No need to overthink it.
-
Apricot-glazed chicken (for leftovers night): If you’ve got leftover cobbler and want to stretch it into another meal, some sweet-savory chicken on the side pairs surprisingly well.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of the Red Lobster mix?
Yes, totally! If you’ve got a go-to cheddar biscuit recipe, pour that over instead of the boxed mix. Just aim for a similar consistency—think thick pancake batter. You might want to toss in some garlic powder and dried parsley to mimic that classic Cheddar Bay seasoning situation.
Do I need to thaw the veggies before adding them?
Nope, toss ’em in frozen! They’ll cook through just fine in the oven. That’s part of the beauty of this recipe—less prep, more eating. Plus, the extra moisture from frozen veg actually helps steam things gently from the inside.
What can I use instead of cream of chicken soup?
You can sub in cream of mushroom, cream of celery, or even make a quick roux-based homemade version. A good basic one: cook 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons flour, whisk in a cup of broth and a bit of cream or milk, and stir until it thickens. Works like a charm.
How do I know when the biscuit layer is fully cooked?
The top should be golden brown and lightly crisped, especially at the edges. Press gently in the center—it should feel set, not jiggly or wet. If you’re unsure, a toothpick inserted in the center of the biscuit layer should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
