Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley
- 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough or 8 homemade biscuits
- 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for brushing biscuits)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery, and sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened.
- Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in chicken pieces and season with salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley. Cook until chicken is lightly browned.
- Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir to coat evenly.
- Gradually pour in chicken broth while stirring to prevent lumps, then add the cream or milk. Simmer for 5–8 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Stir in frozen peas and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Remove from heat and arrange biscuit dough evenly on top of the chicken mixture.
- Brush the biscuits with olive oil or melted butter.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a lighter version, use milk instead of heavy cream and skip butter brushing.
- Homemade or canned biscuits both work well in this recipe.
- If using pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken, add it after the sauce thickens.
- Ensure the filling is thick before adding biscuits to prevent sogginess.
- Store leftovers for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
