Instructions

1. 1Gather and prep all ingredients and preheat your oven to 400°F.
2. 2Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a 10–12" cast-iron or oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook until golden and nearly cooked through, about 6 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
3. 3Add remaining 1 Tbsp oil, mushrooms, onion, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, until softened and most of the moisture has evaporated.
4. 4Pour in chicken stock, ½ cup milk, thyme, and poultry seasoning. Bring to a gentle simmer.
5. 5Whisk cornstarch with water until smooth, then stir it into the simmering sauce. Cook 2–3 minutes until thick and creamy. If too thick, add a splash of broth of water.
6. 6Return cooked chicken and frozen peas and carrots to the skillet. Stir to combine evenly.
7. 7In a bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Add 1 cup milk and 6 Tbsp melted butter, whisking just until smooth. Stir in cheese, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, and parsley.
8. 8Pour the topping evenly over the hot filling in the skillet. Do not stir-the layers. This will create a beautiful cobbler texture as it bakes.**
9. 9Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the topping is golden and bubbly around the edges.
10. 10Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving. Brush the top lightly with last 2 Tbsp of melted butter for a glossy, flavorful finish.
