Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced carrots, celery, and onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour evenly over the cooked vegetables. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually add the chicken broth while stirring continuously to create a smooth, creamy mixture.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the frozen peas. Stir to combine, and let everything cook for 2-3 minutes.
If using, sprinkle in the chopped parsley for added flavor.
Remove the skillet from heat and arrange pieces of biscuit dough evenly on top of the chicken mixture.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes (or as per biscuit packaging instructions) until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Once baked, let the dish cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your warm and hearty 'Can Do Chicken and Biscuits'!
