1 lb. chicken thighs (boneless & skinless, (cut into bite-size pieces) $3.12)

¼ tsp black pepper (freshly cracked, $0.04)
8 oz. white mushrooms (sliced, (235g) $1.78)

2 garlic cloves (minced, (2 tsp) $0.14)
1½ cups chicken broth (12 oz., $0.25*)
½ cup whole milk (4 oz., $0.15)
½ tsp dried thyme ($0.05)
½ tsp poultry seasoning ($0.05)
3 Tbsp cornstarch ($0.10)
¼ cup cold water ($0.00)
1½ cups frozen peas and carrots (200g, $0.58)
1¼ cup all-purpose flour (156g, $0.16)
2 tsp baking powder (8g, $0.07)
1 cup whole milk (8 oz., $0.30)
8 Tbsp butter (melted & divided, (112g) $0.92)

½ tsp garlic powder ($0.03)
¼ tsp cajun seasoning ($0.01)
½ tsp dried parsley ($0.04)
Instructions
1 Gather and prep all ingredients and preheat your oven to 400°F.
2 Heat 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 Add 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 Pour in chicken stock, ½ cup milk, thyme, and poultry seasoning. Bring to a gentle simmer.
5 Whisk 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 Return cooked chicken and frozen peas and carrots to the skillet. Stir to combine evenly.
7 In 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 Pour 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 Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the topping is golden and bubbly around the edges.
10 Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving. Brush the top lightly with last 2 Tbsp of melted butter for a glossy, flavorful finish.
