Preparation
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Sauté the vegetables by melting the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and minced garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant.
Add the rest of the filling ingredients including peas, corn, chicken broth, heavy cream, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes.
Mix the biscuit topping by combining flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Then, add the milk and stir gently until just combined.
Dollop the biscuit dough over the chicken filling, covering it as much as you can.
Bake the dish for 30-35 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
Cool the cobbler for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
