Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
Melt Butter: Place the butter in a 9×9-inch baking dish and put it in the preheated oven until melted. Once melted, carefully remove the dish from the oven.
Prepare Biscuit Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, milk, and your chosen seasonings until a smooth batter forms. Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish.
Assemble Filling: In another bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken, cooked rice, chicken broth, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly distributed.
Layer Filling: Spoon the chicken and rice mixture into the center of the baking dish, allowing the biscuit batter to form a ring around the outer edges.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the cobbler stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow the filling to settle.

Notes

You can customize the seasoning with herbs like thyme, rosemary, or spices like smoked paprika or garlic powder to suit your taste.
Use leftover cooked chicken and rice to make this dish a quick and convenient meal.
Ensure the biscuit batter fully surrounds the filling to create a crisp, golden crust.
Serving with a fresh green salad on the side adds a nice balance to the richness of the cobbler.
