Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon butter
- 3 medium carrots diced (about 1 ½ cups)
- 3 stalks celery diced (about 1 ½ cups)
- 1 large yellow onion diced (about 1 ½ cups)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt divided
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 16.3 ounce tube biscuit dough
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375ºF and spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced carrots, celery, onion and ½ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until softened, 5–7 minutes.
- Stir in flour to coat vegetables. Cook for 2 minutes more.
- Whisk in milk, broth, mustard powder, garlic powder, dried thyme and remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring often, until thickened, 3–5 minutes.
- Fold in chicken and peas. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Transfer the creamy chicken mixture to the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Arrange the biscuits on top of the filling. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
- Bake until filling is bubbling and biscuits are golden and risen, 22–25 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- A 12-inch cast iron skillet is perfect for making the filling because it retains heat well and can go straight into the oven if it’s big enough.
- Rotisserie chicken makes this dish extra quick, but any cooked chicken works.
- For more flavor, brush the biscuits with melted butter before baking or sprinkle them with Parmesan cheese.
- Add in extra veggies like corn or green beans if you want to bulk it up even more.
- Let the casserole rest before serving—this gives the sauce a chance to thicken slightly.
