About This Recipe

Chicken cobbler is the TikTok recipe that caused grocery stores to run out of Bisquick — a creamy chicken and vegetable filling topped with drop biscuits and baked until golden. It's the comfort food love child of chicken pot pie and chicken and biscuits, and it's dramatically easier than either one. Rotisserie chicken, cream of chicken soup, and Bisquick mean this one-pan dinner comes together in 45 minutes with almost zero skill required. Every bite tastes like a hug.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat and prep

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 baking dish.

  2. 2

    Make chicken filling

  3. 3

    Make biscuit batter

    Stir together Bisquick, milk, melted butter, and cheddar cheese until just combined. Drop spoonfuls evenly over the chicken mixture — it doesn't need to cover completely.

  5. 5

    Rest and serve

    Let rest 5 minutes before scooping. The cobbler topping will soak in slightly — this is normal and delicious.

Pro Tips

🏆 Chef Tips
  • Rotisserie chicken is the shortcut that makes this dinner possible on a weeknight — no cooking chicken from scratch.
  • Don't mix the biscuit topping into the filling — drop it in spoonfuls and let it form a rustic top naturally.
  • The filling should be bubbling at the edges before removing — this ensures the biscuit topping is cooked through.
  • Add extra cheddar on top of the biscuit for a cheesier crust.
