Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until vegetables are softened. Add garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Return the chicken to the pot and add frozen peas. Let simmer for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Biscuits

    While the mixture simmers, prepare your favorite biscuit dough (store-bought or homemade) and drop spoonfuls over the top of the chicken mixture.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Cover the pot and transfer to a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, then serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
