Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 large carrots, diced
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 cups biscuit mix
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and carrots, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to coat.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until smooth. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to thicken.
Stir in the heavy cream, diced chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces), peas, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes until the chicken is just cooked through.
Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the biscuit mix, milk, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until just combined to form a dough.
Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit mixture over the chicken filling, spreading it out to create a cobbler-like topping. It doesn’t need to cover the filling completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuit topping is golden and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
