Gluten Free Chicken Cobbler

Teresa Ambra

Gluten Free Living – 2014

Gluten Free Chicken Cobbler is out-of-this-world! I’ve made it gluten free and with regular flour. I’ve made it with chicken or turkey. I’ve made it in high altitude conditions and at sea level. It is scrumptious no matter what way you make it. This tasty cobbler is filled with chicken, peas, carrots, celery, onions and leeks, then it’s seasoned with thyme and garnished with gluten free biscuits. My biscuits were made with several kinds of cheese, chives and garlic powder.

When I made this recipe a few weeks ago, I went for a gluten free version which turned out thick and wonderful. I made a half batch at my sister’s in Colorado over the weekend using leftover turkey and regular flour. The high altitude did cause the ingredients not to thicken quite as well, but it still turned out quite delicious.

We had enough with the “half” batch to make a 9×13″ dish for the four of us, and a smaller 8×8″ dish for one of my nieces and her family. They really enjoyed it after they had been out hiking with small children all day. This stick-to-the-ribs casserole really hit the spot after a very exhausting day expending a lot of calories hiking and climbing.

We enjoyed using turkey leftovers with this dish because you can get really tired of turkey prepared the same way, meal after meal after meal. When I made this at home I used Pamela’s gluten free baking and pancake mix as the thickener in the filling, as well as the biscuits on top. When I made this dish at my sister’s, we used plain all-purpose flour for the thickener and Bisquick for the biscuits. Both ways turned out excellently.

If you’re looking for a fabulous way to use up leftover turkey or rotisserie chicken, this Chicken Cobbler is a superb choice. If you want to make it gluten free, this recipe shows that option. This makes a LOT so you can easily halve the recipe or put it in two separate baking dishes and freeze one for later. Why not try this comforting, satisfying potpie soon and use up some of that leftover turkey!

I used these ingredients for the filling. When I initially posted this recipe Pamela’s was the only gluten free product on the market. I do not recommend it because it does not have one-to-one equivalence in flour. Nor is the taste all that good. I recommend Cup4Cup, Better Batter, King Arthur’s or any other brand of gluten free flour.

Ingredients
  

CHICKEN COBBLER:

  • 6-8 cups chicken or turkey, shredded
  • 48 oz. chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups carrots sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups celery diced
  • 1 1/2 cups onion diced
  • 1 1/2 cups leeks green top removed, washed thoroughly and diced
  • 12 oz. bag frozen peas
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup gluten free flour (I prefer Cup4Cup)
  • 1 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

BISCUIT TOPPING:

  • 1 cup 6-cheese Italian blend (mozzarella, parmesan, fontina, Asiago, romano and provolone cheeses)

  • 1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

  • 1/2 cup fresh chives snipped
  • 2 cups 2% milk cold

Instructions
 

CHICKEN COBBLER:

  • In a Dutch oven, melt butter.
  • Add carrots, celery, onion and leeks.
  • Sauté until tender, about 10 minutes or when carrots are about fork tender.
  • Add peas and stir to combine.
  • Sprinkle gluten free flour over top of veggies and stir to combine.
  • Cook another 2 minutes.
  • Add chicken broth or stock, thyme, salt and pepper and slowly until incorporated.
  • Cook until thickened—about 10 minutes.
  • Add heavy whipping cream and cook an additional 2 minutes until incorporated and thickened.
  • Stir in chicken.
  • Grease a 10x15” glass baking dish.
  • Pour chicken mixture into prepared dish.
  • Top with dollops of biscuit dough.
  • Bake at 400° for 18-23 minutes or until biscuits are cooked through and biscuits are golden brown.

BISCUIT TOPPING:

  • In a large bowl, combine gluten free flour, garlic powder, cheeses and milk.
  • Stir just until combined.

  • (Or dollop biscuit dough with a large spoon on top of the chicken mixture).
  • Bake at 400° for 18-23 minutes or until biscuits are cooked through and the tops are golden brown.

Notes

NOTE: My biscuits actually took closer to 25 minutes before being cooked through and no longer doughy in the middle.
 
 
NOTE: If you do not need to make a gluten free recipe, substitute Bisquick for the gluten free flour in the biscuits. You can also use Gluten Free Bisquick.
 
 
NOTE: This recipe makes a lot. You can easily halve the recipe or put in two baking dishes and freeze one.
 
 
NOTE:You can substitute Parmesan cheese for the six-cheese blend if you have trouble locating it.
 
 
NOTE: Some gluten free flours have a one-to-one correspondence with regular flour. Try to choose one of these kinds of gluten free flours. Use additional flour only if necessary to shape the biscuits.
 
 
NOTE: When I initially posted this recipe Pamela's Pancake and Baking mix was the only gluten free flour available. Today, (circa March 2023), there are so many other good gluten free flours available that have a better consistency and taste. Among my favorites are Cup4Cup, Better Batter, King Arthur's, Krusteaz and Pillsbury. Even the Great Value (Walmart) brand is superior in my opinion.

      This was wonderful. I’ve made it gluten free with chicken and non-gluten free using bisquick with turkey leftovers. Both versions were amazing. Thanks for stopping by.

      It was very thick and creamy, Amanda. I also made a turkey version (non-gluten free) at my sister’s last week and it was just as good. Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate it.
