🍽What Do I Serve With This Casserole Dish?
Pairing your Chicken Cobbler with complementary dishes can elevate your meal to a feast. Consider these options:
Fresh Green Salad
A crisp green salad with a light vinaigrette provides a refreshing counterpoint to the rich flavors of the cobbler. The acidity of the dressing helps cut through the creaminess, making each bite feel balanced.
Roasted Vegetables
Roasted vegetables like Brussels sprouts, carrots, or asparagus add an extra layer of flavor and texture. Season them with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting, and you'll have a delicious side dish that enhances the main course.
Garlic Bread
Who can resist a slice of warm, buttery garlic bread? It’s perfect for soaking up the delicious bechamel sauce in the Chicken Cobbler. Plus, it adds a satisfying crunch to your meal.
⏲️Chef's Tip
For an added burst of flavor, consider incorporating some herbs into your biscuit topping. Freshly chopped parsley or chives can add a delightful freshness that complements the richness of the dish.
Also, don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses—Gruyère or mozzarella can offer a different but equally delicious taste.
