    TikTok Chicken Cobbler Casserole

    Chicken Cobbler is a recipe that has gone absolutely viral on TikTok. When I first came across it, I was immediately intrigued and knew I had to give it a try. An easy family friendly recipe is just what I am always on the hunt for. Plus, if you’ve ever had Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits, you know they are incredible. Adding those as the topping to this casserole is a genius idea that can’t be beat! With just a few changes to the original recipe, this viral chicken cobbler came together in no time and was an instant hit with my family!

    Why you will love this viral recipe

    • SO Flavorful– creamy chicken, tender vegetables, and a Red Lobster Biscuit topping make this chicken pot pie cobbler a must try!
    • Quick and Easy– basically a dump and go meal, this includes your protein, veggie, and starch all in one convenient baking dish.
    • Pure Comfort Food– this one pan meal is a favorite on cold weather nights, there’s just nothing cozier!
    • Family Approved– my three kids and hubby gave this two thumbs up, I call that a win!

    Ingredients Needed for this Easy Chicken Cobbler Recipe

    Using simple ingredients, you may already have everything needed on hand to make this Red Lobster Biscuit Casserole. See printable recipe card below for exact measurements and instructions.

    • Butter– melted butter, unsalted is what I use, but salted butter works great too
    • Chicken– cooked and shredded is best, to save on time, you can also use Rotisserie chicken
    • Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix– you’ll find this in the baking aisle of your grocery store. If you don’t have any, here is a homemade version or you can use Bisquick.
    • Milk– any type works
    • Frozen Vegetables– I use frozen mixed vegetables, but feel free to use any veggie you prefer
    • Chicken Broth– reduced sodium is my go-to, vegetable broth works great too, chicken stock works too
    • Cream of Chicken Soup– just one can, can be store brand if preferred.

    all the ingredients needed for red lobster chicken bake.

    Variations and Substitutions

    • Use vegetable broth in place of the chicken broth.
    • Rotisserie chicken works great instead of having to cook and shred chicken.
    • In place of the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix, you can use Bisquick for a Bisquick Chicken Cobbler.
    • Add 2 cups of your favorite shredded cheese in between the layers for a cheesy addition.
    • You can add additional seasonings to really enhance the flavor. Spices such as garlic powder, onion powder, all-purpose seasoning, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning work great in this chicken casserole.
    • For an added flavor boost, combine the biscuit seasoning packet with 4 tablespoon melted butter and brush on top of the casserole once baked.

    How to make this Chicken Cobbler Recipe with Cheddar Bay Biscuits

    1. Prep- preheat oven to 400 degrees and spread melted butter into 9×13 casserole dish.
    2. Combine- in a medium bowl, combine the biscuit mix with milk.
    3. Layer- sprinkle chicken and frozen veggies in an even layer on bottom of pan. Pour biscuit mixture over chicken and veggies, do not mix. In small bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken and broth. Pour over the biscuit mixture, again, not mixing.
    4. Bake- place cheddar bay chicken bake into oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until golden brown.
    5. Serve- remove from oven and allow to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

    step by step on how to make chicken cobbler

    Recipe Tips

    • To save time, you can melt the butter in the oven. Simply add the butter into your pan and stick in the oven while it is preheating, and you are gathering the other ingredients. Once its melted, you can proceed with the rest of the directions.
    • Be sure not to mix the layers together. The biscuit layer should not be mixed with the chicken layer, and the broth sits on top of the biscuits. Once it cooks in the oven, all combines perfectly.
    • When whisking your biscuit mix with the milk, it is okay if you have some lumps. That is normal.
    • I highly recommend adding the melted butter/biscuit seasoning packet together and brushing it on top of the bake once it rests from oven. It adds so much tasty flavor.

    Chicken Cobbler Leftovers

    Leftovers from this red lobster casserole reheat perfectly! 

    • Refrigerator- allow leftovers to fully cool before storing in an airtight container up to 4 days in your fridge.
    • Freezer- place leftovers in a freezer safe container up to 3 months. Allow to thaw before reheating.
    • Reheating– reheat leftovers in the microwave heating in 30 second increments until desired temperature is reached.

    Freezer Meal Directions

    This viral chicken cobbler recipe makes the perfect freezer meal! Follow these simple steps and it lasts perfectly in the freezer up to 3 months.

    1. Assemble casserole as directed in recipe up until it is ready to place into oven.
    2. Wrap casserole with plastic wrap AND aluminum foil and place in freezer.
    3. Once ready to bake, remove from freezer the day before and allow to thaw overnight in refrigerator.
    4. Place pan into oven and cook as directed. You may need to add additional cook time if casserole is not fully thawed.

    Chicken Cobbler FAQ’s

    Can I use anything other than chicken in this recipe?

    Absolutely! Any leftover meat will work great. In fact, I plan on using our leftover Thanksgiving turkey to make a turkey version after Thanksgiving.

    What should I serve with this Cheddar Bay Biscuit Chicken Casserole?

    Since this meal already includes your protein, vegetables, and starch, it really is a meal in itself. However, if your family is like mine, they like a bit of variety on their plates. I love adding a side salad to this meal, or some roasted vegetables such as asparagus, Brussel sprouts, carrots, or carrots!

    Can I add in potatoes to make this heartier and more chicken pot pie like?

    Absolutely! My mom made this for our family a few weeks ago and did just that. It was an incredible addition. Simply peel and dice your potatoes and pre-cook them a bit before adding them in. You want them slightly soft going in, so they are perfectly tender once cobbler is cooked.

    Is this recipe the same one from Tiktok?

    Yes, although I have changed a few things and tweaked the assembly process to make the topping a bit more biscuit like and less soggy!

    What is the easiest way to cook chicken?

    My go-to method is using my slow cooker. I add my chicken breasts, some chicken broth, and occasionally some all-purpose seasoning. I cook on low for about 6-8 hours, shred the chicken and use in any recipe needed. I tend to double the chicken amount needed, allow chicken to fully cool, and freeze for another recipe!

      I was thinking of making enough to take to a potluck and your recipe generously provides the increased quantities of the ingredients, however, the size of the baking dish and baking time remained the same. Does that mean you used multiple pans?

        Hi! Yes, if you want to double, make into two 9×13 pans! Triple would be three 9×13’s, etc. Bake time stays the same! Enjoy!!

      The original recipe on TikTok was from a woman who did not use frozen vegetables and she did not use the cheddar Bay biscuit mix. She used either jiffy baking mix or bisquick.
      How can I find how much I need to use of the baking mix? Is it one cup or two?

        If you’re using Bisquick, you will want to use 2 cups of the baking mix in place of the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix! Hope you enjoy!

      Brittany,
      I made it the first 2 times as written but then tried it the way you asked about. I poured the soup mix over the vegetables then added the biscuit mix which i made like dumplings so I could spoon them on top. So delicious that way!
      Love the recipe!!!

        I agree that it was too mushy. Way too much liquid. I’ll cut back on the liquid the next time. It was much better as leftovers the next day.

        January 19, 2025 at 10:07 am

        Bummer to hear that! It should have crisped up on top to make a topping similar to a biscuit!

      Wow!! I just can’t even! It was so awesomely good! My parents couldn’t get over the smell of it cooking and then the first bite it was like heaven!! Perfect recipe for cold winter nights. My mom told me she wants me to make this again. Thanks so much for sharing. I did add garlic & onion powder and pepper put put it on the chicken layer and added some cheddar cheese. It was just way, way too rich & yes , heavenly!

      I’m wondering if the soup mixture should go over the chicken and vegetables and then the biscuits on top? It’s written the other way around but mine is runny and I cooked it way longer than directed and covered with foil. Seemed weird putting the soup on top but I read it multiple times and that’s what it said to do.

        December 20, 2024 at 10:08 am

        Nope, its written in the order needed. I know its a bit confusing, I was confused when my mom first made it, but as it cooks, it comes together perfectly!

      Several reviewers said it needed more flavor. In the tips you listed salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. I’m not a great cook and need things spelled out. If I use those spices, how much do I use and are they put in the soup layer?

      Reply
      • Kristin says

        October 30, 2024 at 10:08 am

        I would add about 1-2 tsp of desired seasonings such as garlic, onion, etc. If adding salt and pepper, I would start with 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp as you don’t want it to be too salty. You would add the additional seasonings to the bottom soup layer, the one where the chicken is, not the topping. Hope you enjoy!

          I give it a 4 out of 5 stars because thus is the second time making it and the same thing happened it was still runny in the middle how can I fix that? Great taste and love how quick I can prep and cook it up.My family loves it. I hope to share it with others.

          If the center isn’t fully cooked, place a piece of aluminum foil on top to allow the center to cook, but the top not to get too browned! Should work perfectly!

      How much milk? I made the recipe with milk substituting for the 3/4 cup water on the package of Cheddar Bay Biscuits could not pour but still tasted good . I want to make it again after I know how much milk to use. I believe it will rate a 5 star then.
      Thanks

          If using Bisquick mix, you will want to follow the boxed directions for their biscuits. The Red Lobster mix is only a 11 ounce box if I remember right, so you won’t want to use the full 20 ounce. Hope you enjoy!
