  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough about 8 biscuits
  • 2 tablespoons parsley chopped for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft.
  4. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add carrots and cook for another 3 minutes.
  6. Melt butter in the skillet and sprinkle flour over the vegetables.
  7. Stir well to create a light roux and cook for 1 minute.
  8. Slowly pour in chicken broth while stirring continuously.
  9. Add milk and mix until the sauce thickens.
  10. Stir in shredded chicken, peas, salt, pepper, and thyme.
  11. Place biscuit dough pieces evenly on top of the chicken mixture.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken works great and saves time.
  • Add mushrooms or corn for extra flavor and texture.
  • If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of chicken broth.
  • Serve straight from the skillet for the best comfort-food presentation.
