Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
2 celery stalks, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and black pepper to taste
3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
1 cup frozen peas
2 cups all-purpose flour (for biscuits)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
3/4 cup buttermilk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
Sprinkle 1/3 cup flour over vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, chicken, and frozen peas. Remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in buttermilk and stir just until a shaggy dough forms.
Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the chicken mixture (about 6-8 biscuits).
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown and filling is bubbly. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
Tips
To save time, use rotisserie chicken.
Biscuit dough can be made ahead and refrigerated; drop onto filling just before baking.
Leftovers keep refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat in oven to maintain biscuit texture.
