Well now, if you ever been to Red Lobster and got a taste of their Chicken Cobbler, you know what I’m talkin’ about. That thing’s got a little bit of everything that makes your belly feel good, from chicken to veggies and that buttery, biscuit-y topping. Let me tell ya, it ain’t that hard to whip up at home neither, if you just follow along with what I tell ya.
First thing’s first, you gotta get ya some chicken. Now, I like me some boneless chicken breast, it cooks up nice and quick. You can even use chicken thighs if you got ‘em, but breast works just fine. Cut that chicken into little cubes, not too big, just small enough so it cooks good all through. You don’t want any big chunks of meat that’s gonna take forever to cook, ya know?
Now, grab ya a nice big ol’ pan, and heat it up with some oil. I prefer a little bit of olive oil, but you can use whatever you got in the kitchen. Once that oil’s nice and hot, toss in the chicken cubes. Cook ‘em up till they get a little brown on the outside, that’s how you know they’re getting good and crispy-like. Don’t forget to stir ‘em around a bit so they don’t stick to the pan.
While that chicken’s cooking, get yourself a small onion and chop it up real fine. You don’t need big ol’ chunks of onion, just a good, small dice. Same goes for a carrot, peel it, and chop it up too. If you got any other veggies, like peas or corn, throw those in too. Don’t be shy. You know, a lot of people throw in some garlic, but I ain’t too keen on that—just a personal thing, but if you like garlic, go ahead and add a little.
Once the chicken’s cooked through, you can add those veggies to the pan. Sprinkle in a little salt and black pepper, ‘bout a teaspoon of each, or to your taste. Stir it all together so that chicken and veggies start to get friendly. Let it cook for a few more minutes till them onions start to soften up, and you smell that nice, savory smell fillin’ the kitchen. It’s enough to make you want to eat it right then and there.
Now, it’s time to make the cobbler part—the topping! This is what makes it all come together. You gotta make a biscuit dough, and it don’t have to be fancy. You just need flour, some baking powder, salt, and cold butter. You can cut the butter into little pieces and work it into the flour with your fingers or a fork till it looks like crumbs. Then, you pour in some milk to bring it all together into a dough. Don’t make it too wet, just enough so it sticks together.
Now, spread that chicken and veggie mix into a baking dish, nice and even. You don’t want any lumps or bumps in it—just smooth and pretty-like. Then, take your biscuit dough and dollop it on top of the chicken. Just spoon it on there, don’t worry if it’s all perfect or not. Once you’ve covered the chicken, pop that dish into the oven at about 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes. You want that biscuit topping to rise up all golden brown and lookin’ mighty fine.
When you pull it out, you’ll see the chicken all bubbling up underneath, and that biscuit topping will be crispy and flaky on top. Just like the Red Lobster chicken cobbler, but you made it right there in your own kitchen, nice and easy.
If you really wanna get fancy, you can sprinkle a little cheddar cheese on top before you bake it. That cheese’ll melt all over and give it a nice flavor, kinda like the cheddar biscuits they serve with the meals at Red Lobster. You can even add a little garlic powder or herbs to the topping to make it extra tasty, if that’s your thing.
So there ya have it, folks. That’s how you make a Chicken Cobbler just like they do at Red Lobster. Simple, easy, and so dang good. The whole family will love it, and you won’t have to leave the house to get that fancy meal. Give it a try, and let me know what ya think! Enjoy!
