Equipment

  • Large oven-safe skillet or 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Wooden Spoon or Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Oven mitts

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 3/4 cup chopped celery ribs
  • 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper or to taste
  • 4 cups cooked chicken shredded or diced
  • 3/4 cup frozen peas
  • 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough about 8-10 biscuits
  • Fresh parsley chopped, for optional garnish

Instructions
 

  • Melt the unsalted butter in your skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened and the onions are translucent—about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables. Stir constantly for about 2 minutes to cook the flour and prevent any raw taste.
  • Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, followed by the whole milk and heavy cream. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens and bubbles gently. Season with kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste.
  • Fold in the cooked chicken and frozen peas. Mix until everything is well combined and heated through.
  • Open your refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Arrange them evenly on top of the chicken mixture in the skillet or baking dish.
  • Place the dish in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top for a pop of color and fresh flavor. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven covered with foil at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes to keep biscuits fluffy.
  • Substitute peas with green beans, corn, or bell peppers for variety.
  • Use homemade biscuit dough if preferred, just ensure it's chilled before baking.
  • Add herbs like thyme or rosemary for an herbal twist.
