Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Vegetables
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb), diced
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (frozen or fresh)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp paprika
Liquids and Topping
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup Bisquick baking mix
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Cook Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, season the diced chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink.
- Sauté Garlic and Vegetables: Add the minced garlic and mixed vegetables to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
- Simmer with Broth: Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Prepare Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Bisquick baking mix, whole milk, and paprika until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Combine and Top: Pour the Bisquick batter evenly over the chicken and vegetable mixture in the skillet or transfer everything to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly on top.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your warm and comforting chicken cobbler casserole!
Notes
- You can substitute mixed vegetables with fresh seasonal vegetables or your favorites like peas, carrots, or green beans.
- For a lower-fat version, use low-fat milk and reduced-fat cheese.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the batter.
- Make sure the chicken is cooked through before adding the batter to ensure even cooking.
- This casserole can be reheated in the oven or microwave for leftovers.
- To make it gluten-free, use a gluten-free baking mix instead of Bisquick.
