Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Filling:

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup carrots, diced

1 cup green beans, chopped

1 cup chicken broth

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Biscuit Topping:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1 cup buttermilk

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling:

    - In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

      - Stir in the carrots and green beans, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until they start to soften.

        - Add the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the chicken broth, dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

          - Remove from heat and set aside.

            Make the Biscuit Topping:

              - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

                - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

                  - Pour in the buttermilk and gently mix until just combined. Fold in the garlic powder and chives, being careful not to overwork the dough.

                    Assemble the Cobbler:

                      - In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, pour the chicken filling evenly across the bottom.

                        - Using a spoon or your hands, drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the chicken filling, covering it as evenly as possible.

                          Bake:

                            - Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.

                              - Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

                                Serve:

                                  - Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy your rustic garlic herb chicken cobbler warm, perhaps with a side salad or some crusty bread!
