  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

– 2 small boneless skinless chicken breasts

– Salt and pepper to taste

– 3 cups chicken broth

– 4 tablespoons butter

– 1/2 cup finely diced onions

– 1/2 cup finely diced celery

– 1/2 cup finely diced carrots

– 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 (cream can be used as an alternative)

– 1 chicken bouillon cube

– 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce (or Worcestershire sauce as a substitute)

– 1 cup frozen peas

– Biscuits (prepared homemade, from refrigerated dough, or using biscuit mix, quantity as needed for topping)

Instructions

1-First, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook them gently in 3 cups of chicken broth over low heat for about 15 minutes until fully cooked. Remove and shred the chicken, saving that flavorful broth for later use. In a large pan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter and sautΓ© 1/2 cup each of finely diced onions, celery, and carrots for 5-6 minutes until they soften up nicely.

2-Next, add 2 cloves of minced garlic along with 1/2 teaspoon each of onion powder, dry thyme, and dry rosemary, plus 1/4 teaspoon ground sage, and cook for another minute to bring out the aromas. Stir in 1/3 cup flour and cook for 2 minutes to form a base, then gradually add about two-thirds of the reserved chicken broth in small amounts, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Follow that by mixing in 1/2 cup half and half, 1 chicken bouillon cube, and 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce.

3-Now, toss in the shredded chicken and 1 cup frozen peas, heating everything until the peas are warm through. If you want a thicker mix, let it simmer briefly. Transfer the mixture to a greased 8Γ—8 baking dish, top it with unbaked biscuits, and bake at 425Β°F for 15-18 minutes until the biscuits turn golden and set.

4-For a bit more color, brush the biscuits with butter and bake at 450Β°F for up to 5 more minutes, or bake them separately on a baking sheet for crispier bottoms. You can adapt this for dietary needs, like using alternatives for the filling, to make it just right for your family.

Notes

πŸ— Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for juicier meat.
⏲️ Prepare filling and unbaked biscuits up to 2 days ahead and refrigerate.
πŸ₯§ Bake biscuits on top of filling for soft tops, or separately for crispier texture.
