Method
- 01
Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish in the oven while it preheats, about 5 minutes, then remove the dish.
- 02
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining 2 tbsp unsalted butter. Add the 1 medium yellow onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes.
- 03
Add the 3 cloves garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 04
Stir in the 2 cups frozen peas and carrots, 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, ½ tsp black pepper, and ½ tsp kosher salt. Cook for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
- 05
Whisk together the 1 can cream of chicken soup and 1 ½ cups chicken broth in a large bowl until smooth.
- 06
Add the 3 cups cooked chicken and the skillet vegetable mixture to the soup mixture and stir to combine.
- 07
Pour the chicken filling evenly into the prepared baking dish over the melted butter — do not stir.
- 08
In a separate bowl, whisk together the 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, and the remaining ½ tsp kosher salt.
- 09
Add the 1 ½ cups whole milk and ½ cup sour cream to the flour mixture and stir until just combined — a few lumps are fine. Do not overmix.
- 10
Spoon the biscuit batter in large dollops evenly over the top of the chicken filling, covering as much surface as possible.
- 11
Bake uncovered at 375 °F for 45–50 minutes, until the biscuit topping is deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- 12
Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving so the filling can set slightly.
