Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Half-and-half
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 cups Cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
• 2 cups Frozen peas and carrots
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 2 cups All-purpose flour (for biscuits)
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for biscuits)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, diced for biscuits)
• 0.75 cup Whole milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a deep 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in 4 tablespoons of flour to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until bubbly and smooth.

Step 3

Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and half-and-half. Continue cooking and whisking until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Season the sauce with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir in the cooked chicken, frozen peas and carrots, and chopped parsley. Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

For the biscuit topping, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl.

Step 6

Cut the cold diced butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Gradually pour in the milk, stirring until just combined. Take care not to overmix.

Step 8

Using a large spoon, drop dollops of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken and veggie mixture in the baking dish.

Step 9

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, and the filling is bubbling.

Step 10

Let the dish cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your comforting Biscuit Topped Deep Dish Chicken!
