Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cubed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup yellow onion, diced
- 1 cup carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 12 biscuits store-bought or homemade biscuit dough
- 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and butter.
Season the cubed chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while continuously stirring. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until it begins to thicken.
Stir in the heavy cream, dried thyme, and dried parsley. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine. Transfer the filling to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Arrange the biscuit dough evenly on top of the chicken mixture.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg wash to promote browning.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty Biscuit Topped Chicken Pot Pie!
