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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Season the filling with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 8

Transfer the chicken mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 9

Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and arrange the biscuits over the top of the chicken mixture.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with optional chopped parsley before serving.
