Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breasts, diced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 1 cup peas
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- Salt and pepper
- Chopped parsley for garnish
For the Biscuit Topping:
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Begin by marinating the diced chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a skillet and fry the diced chicken until golden. Cook the chicken until it turns a golden brown. Leave the chicken in the skillet.
- In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onions and sliced carrots. Add the minced garlic and continue sautéing over low heat.
- When the vegetables are softened, add the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes over low heat.
- Pour in the chicken broth and milk, stirring to cook. As the sauce thickens, add the chicken back to the skillet. Add the peas and mix.
- Season with salt and pepper, then add the chopped parsley and stir. Remove the skillet from the heat.
- In a separate bowl, mix the biscuit ingredients. After kneading the dough, roll it out on a floured surface.
- Pour the chicken mixture into a baking dish. Place the biscuit dough on top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) until the biscuit topping is golden brown. Once the top turns golden, remove from the oven.
- Serve by slicing and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Notes
- Chicken Variation: Feel free to customize the recipe by using boneless chicken thighs or a combination of chicken breasts and thighs. This can add more depth of flavor to your cobbler.
- Vegetable Options: While this recipe uses classic vegetables like carrots, peas, and corn, you can get creative with your choices. Bell peppers, green beans, or even spinach can be great additions.
- Herb Choices: Experiment with different herbs to enhance the aroma and taste of your cobbler. Thyme, rosemary, or even a touch of sage can elevate the dish.
- Serving Suggestions: Chicken cobbler is hearty on its own, but you can serve it with a side salad, coleslaw, or some steamed vegetables for a well-rounded meal.
- Storage and Reheating: Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
- Cobbler Topping: The biscuit topping is meant to be soft and slightly crispy on the outside. It's normal for it to soak up some of the filling's liquid during baking.
- Freezing: If you plan to freeze the cobbler, it's recommended to freeze the filling and the biscuit dough separately. When ready to use, thaw the filling and assemble the cobbler before baking.
- Adjusting Seasonings: Don't hesitate to adjust the seasonings according to your taste preferences. You can add more or less salt, pepper, and other seasonings to suit your palate.
- Share and Enjoy: Chicken cobbler is a comforting dish that's perfect for sharing with friends and family. Gather around the table and enjoy this homestyle meal together.
