Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 medium, diced carrot
- 2 stalks, diced celery
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 can (8 biscuits) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced carrot, celery, and onion. Cook for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through.
Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Then add the milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Season the filling with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 2 minutes.
Transfer the chicken mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and arrange the biscuits over the top of the chicken mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with optional chopped parsley before serving.
