Ingredients:

For the Chicken Filling:

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Cheddar Bay Biscuits:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

For the Biscuit Topping:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken Filling: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
3. Make the Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Slowly add the chicken broth and heavy cream, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens. Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen peas. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
4. Make the Cheddar Bay Biscuits: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the cheddar cheese and parsley, then add the milk, mixing until a soft dough forms.
5. Top the Cobbler: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken filling in the baking dish.
6. Bake: Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
7. Add the Topping: While the cobbler is baking, melt the butter for the biscuit topping and stir in the garlic powder and parsley. When the cobbler is done, brush the tops of the biscuits with the garlic butter mixture.
8. Serve: Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving.
