Ingredients
- 2 small boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup onions, finely diced
- 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
- 1/2 cup carrots, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dry thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dry rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon ground sage
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1/2 cup half and half
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
- 1 cup frozen peas
- Prepared homemade or refrigerated biscuits
Instructions
1. Prepare buttermilk biscuits but do not bake. Refrigerate formed biscuits while preparing the filling.
2. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken and broth to a saucepan and gently simmer with the lid cracked for 15 minutes until cooked through.
3. Remove chicken, shred with forks, and reserve the broth.
4. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions, celery, and carrots for 5 to 6 minutes.
5. Add garlic, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, and sage. Cook for 1 minute.
6. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well. Cook for 2 minutes.
7. Slowly add 2/3 of the reserved chicken broth while stirring continuously. Add half and half gradually.
8. Stir in bouillon cube, soy sauce, and shredded chicken.
9. Simmer gently until thickened. Add extra broth if desired for a thinner filling.
10. Stir in frozen peas and remove from heat.
11. Transfer filling to a lightly greased 8 x 8-inch baking dish if needed.
12. Place biscuits on top of the filling.
13. Bake according to biscuit recipe instructions until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
14. Optional: Brush biscuits with butter and bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 to 5 more minutes for extra browning.
Notes
Homemade, Bisquick, or refrigerated biscuits all work well for this recipe.
For crispier biscuits, bake them separately and place on top before serving.
Do not boil the chicken rapidly or it may become tough.
The biscuits will absorb some of the filling while baking, creating extra cozy texture.
