Instructions
Make the Filling:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes until softened.
- Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Sprinkle in the flour and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook off the raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in chicken broth and milk, stirring to avoid lumps.
- Bring to a simmer and let thicken for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the cooked chicken, peas, salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley. Remove from heat.
Make the Biscuits:
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
- Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add buttermilk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut into circles or squares.
Assemble & Bake:
- Arrange biscuits on top of the chicken mixture.
- Brush biscuit tops with a little milk or melted butter for a golden finish.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can use store-bought biscuits to save time.
- Substitute turkey for chicken for a holiday twist.
- If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the filling to a baking dish before adding biscuits.
- Add mushrooms, green beans, or corn for extra veggies.
