Short, Catchy Intro
So you’re craving something cozy, cheesy, and ridiculously comforting—but also a little fancy because Red Lobster biscuits exist and we’re not monsters. Welcome to your new obsession: Viral Chicken Cobbler with Red Lobster Biscuits. It’s basically chicken pot pie’s cooler, cheesier cousin who shows up at brunch looking like a million bucks. And the best part? You can make it without losing your soul—or an entire evening—to the kitchen.
Why This Recipe is Awesome
Let’s cut to the chase: this dish is idiot-proof. Seriously, even if your culinary skills peak at “boil water without burning it,” you’ll survive this.
- Comfort food to the max – creamy, cheesy, chicken-y goodness under a golden, fluffy blanket of biscuits.
- Red Lobster vibes at home – no fancy seafood restaurant required (unless you count your bathtub as a fancy sink, in which case… sure).
- Weeknight hero – dumps, bakes, and forgets. Minimal effort, maximum reward.
- Leftovers taste like a warm hug – if there are any left, that is.
Basically, it’s everything you want from a dinner that makes you feel like a chef, without needing a PhD in patience.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s the stuff you’ll be juggling in the kitchen. Don’t panic—it’s mostly stuff you probably already own.
For the Chicken Cobbler:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (rotisserie is your BFF here)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom, I won’t tell)
- 1 cup frozen mixed veggies (peas, carrots, corn – rainbow vibes optional)
- 1/2 cup milk (full fat makes it dreamy, skim makes it… polite)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (more is better, obviously)
For the Red Lobster Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (yes, again—can never have too much)
- 3/4 cup milk (or buttermilk if you’re feeling fancy)
- 2 tsp melted butter for brushing
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat like a pro – Crank your oven to 400°F (205°C). Preheating is not optional; trust me.
- Mix your cobbler base – In a large bowl, stir together chicken, soup, veggies, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Dump in the cheese and give it a loving mix.
- Transfer to baking dish – Pour your chicken mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Make it even. Presentation counts, friends.
- Make biscuit dough – In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Cut in cold butter until it’s crumbly. Stir in cheese, then milk until you have a sticky dough.
- Top the cobbler – Spoon biscuit dough over the chicken mixture in blobs. It doesn’t need to be perfect—rustic is cute.
- Bake like you mean it – 20–25 minutes, or until biscuits are golden and cooked through. Smells like victory yet?
- Brush with butter – Optional but highly recommended. Brush melted butter on top for extra indulgence.
- Serve immediately – Because patience is for other people.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Skipping preheating the oven – Rookie move. Your biscuits will sulk and stay sad.
- Overcrowding the pan – Don’t pile it too high; biscuits need room to rise.
- Under-seasoning – A little salt goes a long way. Taste before baking if possible.
- Using lukewarm milk for the biscuits – Cold butter + warm milk = weird texture. Keep it chill.
Alternatives & Substitutions
- Chicken – Swap for turkey, leftover rotisserie meat, or even canned chicken in a pinch.
- Cheese – Pepper jack or gouda? Go for it. Just… don’t skimp.
- Biscuits – Pillsbury refrigerated biscuits? Totally fine. We’re not here to judge.
- Cream soup – Mushroom or celery? Sure. If you’re feeling wild, mix both.
- Veggies – Frozen broccoli or green beans work just as well. Mix it up—rainbow rules.
FAQ
Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Technically yes, but why hurt your soul like that? Butter is life, my friend.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yep. Assemble, cover, refrigerate overnight, then bake the next day. Biscuits might take a smidge longer.
Can I freeze this?
Absolutely. Freeze pre-baked or just the chicken mixture. Bake from frozen with a few extra minutes.
Do I have to shred the chicken?
Nope, chunks are fine. But shredded chicken soaks up the cheesy goodness better—IMO.
Can I skip the veggies?
Sure, but your cobbler will miss its rainbow vibe and a tiny bit of nutrition. Up to you, rebel.
Can I use homemade biscuits?
If you want to show off, yes. But Red Lobster-style biscuits are the magic here, so maybe save them for special occasions.
What’s the best cheese combo?
Cheddar + a little mozzarella = melty heaven. Feel free to experiment, cheese nerd.
