How to Make Our Chicken Cobbler
- Sauté the veggies: Heat oil or butter in a pan. Add onion, celery, and garlic. Cook until softened.

- Make the keto cobbler batter: In a bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until smooth. Fold in mozzarella if using.
- Assemble: Pour the chicken mixture into a baking dish. Spread the cobbler batter over the top in rustic spoonfuls.
- Bake: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until the topping is golden and set.
- Serve: Let rest 5 minutes for the sauce to settle, then scoop and enjoy.
