Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 1 medium chopped onion, 1 cup of diced carrots, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 cup of peas, 1 cup of corn kernels, 1 ½ cups of chicken broth, and ½ cup of heavy cream. Season with 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, ½ teaspoon of dried rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
  4. Gently fold in 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken into the filling and transfer into the prepared baking dish.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cut in 6 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter. Then, add ¾ cup of whole milk and stir until just combined.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the chicken filling and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown.
  7. Allow your Chicken Cobbler to cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and enjoy!
