Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 medium carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup frozen peas
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 can refrigerated biscuits
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Melt the butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, then cook for 5 to 6 minutes until softened.
4. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
5. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well for 1 minute.
6. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to keep the sauce smooth.
7. Add the milk and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture thickens.
8. Stir in the shredded chicken, frozen peas, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
9. Cut each biscuit into halves and arrange the pieces over the chicken mixture.
10. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
11. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Make sure the filling is thickened before adding the biscuits so the dumplings bake up fluffy instead of soggy.
Rotisserie chicken works very well here and saves time on busy nights.
Let the skillet rest for a few minutes after baking so the sauce settles and thickens slightly before serving.
