Ingredients:
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 stalks celery, sliced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken stock
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
- 16 oz refrigerated flaky layers biscuits
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions:
- Melt the butter in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté until onions are translucent and carrots have softened slightly, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables. Stir constantly for 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste and create a roux.
- Slowly pour in the chicken stock and heavy cream while whisking continuously to ensure a smooth, velvety consistency. Simmer until the sauce thickens.
- Stir in the cooked chicken, frozen peas, dried thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Continue to simmer until the mixture is hot and bubbling.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the biscuit dough rounds on top of the simmering filling.
- Whisk the egg and water together to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the wash and sprinkle with dried parsley if desired.
- Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the biscuits are tall, golden brown, and fully cooked through.
