Our take on the TikTok-famous hack for making chicken cobbler starts with shredded rotisserie chicken and a box of Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix. This dump and bake casserole is as easy as it is delicious. It's already become one of our go-to weeknight dinners. The whole thing requires just one bowl and one baking dish. One of our taste testers declared it the best casserole she's had all year.

How to Make Chicken Cobbler

The key to making a great chicken cobbler casserole is the order in which you layer the ingredients. Our Test Kitchen found it was best to start with melted butter and then the shredded chicken. Pour on frozen mixed veggies and then top with the prepared biscuit mix. The final step is the sauce. Mix up chicken broth and cream of chicken soup and pour it over. Don't worry if it looks like a lot of liquid. As it bakes, it becomes thick, creamy, and rich. The biscuits puff up and become golden brown on top of the chicken cobbler recipe.

How to Customize Chicken Cobbler

Some recipes end with the biscuit topper but our tasters loved the flavor and crunch of adding canned French fried onions on top. You can easily omit this ingredient if you don't have them on hand. Try tossing in fresh herbs or spices like Cajun, Italian, or garlic. An extra sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese on top doesn't hurt either.

Tips for Making Chicken Cobbler

Here are a few tips for making this chicken cobbler recipe.

• Don't be tempted to stir the ingredients. The layers of ingredients will separate and bake into a creamy filling with a fluffy biscuit topping.
• Shred the rotisserie chicken quickly by placing it in a large mixing bowl and using a hand mixer on low speed to break it up.
• The casserole is done when the crust is golden brown. During cooking, the sauce may bubble up over the biscuit topping in some areas, making it look wet and appear to need more time in the oven. The dish will set and firm up as it cools.
• Freeze any remaining casserole in an airtight container for 3 to 6 months in the freezer.
