My neighbor brought over this incredible dinner last week and it has instantly become my new favorite comfort meal
Oven-Baked 5-Ingredient Chicken Cobbler Pasta
This Oven-Baked 5-Ingredient Chicken Cobbler Pasta brings together tender pasta, shredded chicken, and a creamy, savory sauce, finished with soft, golden biscuit pieces. Everything bakes in one pan without the need to boil the pasta first, making this cozy, satisfying dish an easy choice for busy weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Uncooked short pasta (rotini, penne, or cavatappi) | 12 ounces |
| Cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or leftover) | 3 cups |
| Condensed cream of chicken soup | 2 (10.5-ounce) cans |
| Low-sodium chicken broth | 3 cups |
| Refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into small pieces | 1 (16-ounce) can |
Step-by-Step Directions
1. Preheat the oven and prepare the pan
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9 × 13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with cooking spray or oil.
2. Add the pasta and chicken
Spread the uncooked pasta evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish. Distribute the shredded chicken over the pasta, gently shaking the pan to help spread everything evenly.
3. Prepare the creamy sauce
In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup and chicken broth until the mixture is smooth. Pour the sauce evenly over the pasta and chicken, using a spoon to press the pasta down so most of the noodles are covered by the liquid.
4. Arrange the biscuit topping
Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into small pieces, approximately 1/2 to 3/4 inch in size. Arrange the pieces evenly over the surface in a single layer.
5. Cover and bake
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil, leaving enough space so the foil does not touch the biscuit topping. Bake for 30 minutes.
6. Bake until golden
Carefully remove the foil and return the dish to the oven. Continue baking uncovered for another 20–25 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown, the pasta is tender, and the sauce is bubbling.
7. Let it rest and serve
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. This gives the creamy sauce time to thicken before serving. Scoop into portions and enjoy while warm.
