Filling

Buttermilk Biscuit Topping

Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Carrots and Peas

    Stir in the diced carrots and frozen peas, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.

  3. 3

    Create Creamy Base

    Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while continuously stirring to avoid lumps.

  4. 4

    Add Chicken and Seasonings

    Once the broth is incorporated, add the shredded chicken, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Stir well and let simmer for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens.

Buttermilk Biscuit Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Dry Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.

  2. 6

    Cut in Butter

    Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 7

    Add Buttermilk

    Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently until the dough comes together, being careful not to overmix.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 8

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 9

    Combine Filling and Biscuit Dough

    Transfer the creamy chicken filling into a baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the filling, spreading them evenly.

  3. 10

    Bake the Farmhouse Pie

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

  4. 11

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and serve warm. Enjoy your Farmhouse Pie!
