Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 3 cups Chicken broth
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 can Refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough
- 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of butter and sear the chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side (they do not need to be fully cooked at this stage). Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to create a roux.
Slowly add the chicken broth to the skillet, whisking constantly, to create a smooth sauce. Bring to a simmer and let it thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and frozen peas and carrots. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
Transfer the sauce mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place the seared chicken breasts on top of the sauce.
Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and place the biscuits evenly over the casserole dish, ensuring they are spaced slightly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, and the sauce is bubbling.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
