Ingredients
¼ cup butter
1 small onion, chopped
3 medium celery ribs, chopped
3 medium carrots, chopped
⅔ cup frozen peas
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups lower-sodium chicken broth
⅔ cup half-and-half cream
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 cups cooked chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 (16.3 oz) can refrigerated flaky-style biscuits (such as Pillsbury Grands)
1 large egg yolk, beaten
1 tablespoon water
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Cook the vegetables: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrots. Cook for about 15 minutes until vegetables are tender.
-
Add peas and seasonings: Stir in frozen peas, flour, parsley, and thyme. Cook for 5 minutes until the flour begins to fry and coat the vegetables.
-
Make the sauce: Whisk in chicken broth and half-and-half cream. Cook until the sauce thickens and bubbles. Stir in the chicken and season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Transfer to a baking dish: Pour the chicken mixture into a 7×11-inch baking dish.
-
Top with biscuits: Arrange the biscuits on top. Beat the egg yolk with water and brush over the biscuits for a golden finish.
-
Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden and the filling is bubbly.
-
Rest and serve: Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For quicker prep, use frozen mixed vegetables instead of fresh carrots, peas, and celery.
Use homemade biscuit dough for a more personalized touch.
Substitute the chicken with turkey for a post-Thanksgiving twist.
Add extra herbs like rosemary or sage for a more aromatic filling.
