Notes
- Searing the Chicken. It's important to get a good sear on the chicken for extra depth of flavor and to retain the juices. You will get the best results by cooking the chicken in a hot pan without moving until you're ready to flip it.
- More Cheese After Baking. Top your casserole with the last layer of cheese as soon as you remove it from the oven so it melts over the top for an extra cheesy flavor.
- Shred the Chicken. Let it cool slightly so you can easily shred the chicken with two forks or a shredding claw.
- Don't Stir the Layers. Assemble in the order the recipe is written without any stirring.
- Storage: Store this cobbler in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to 3 months in an airtight, freezer-safe container.
