Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (about 1 pound)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1 medium onion, diced (about 1 cup)
- 2 medium carrots, diced (about 1 cup)
- 2 celery stalks, diced (about 1/2 cup)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure chicken is cooked and shredded or diced into bite-sized pieces.
2. In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5–6 minutes until softened.
3. Add garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir continuously for 1–2 minutes.
5. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, then add heavy cream. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until thickened.
6. Fold in chicken, peas, corn, salt, pepper, and fresh parsley. Stir until well combined and heated through, about 2 minutes.
7. Combine melted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley in a small bowl.
8. Arrange biscuits evenly on top of the chicken mixture. Brush with seasoned butter and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
9. Bake for 20–25 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and filling is bubbling.
10. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken for faster prep.
To make this dish even heartier, stir in cooked potatoes or substitute sweet corn with creamed corn.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best results.
For a cheesier top, add an extra 1/2 cup of cheddar halfway through baking.
