Description

Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) lean chicken breast or thighs, diced small
- 12 oz (340g) bag frozen peas, carrots, corn, and green beans
- 2 Tbsp (30g) unsalted butter (or olive oil for a dairy-free option)
- 0.25 cup (30g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for GF)
- 2 cups (480ml) low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup (240ml) milk (any fat percentage, or unsweetened almond milk for dairy-free)
- 16.3 oz (462g) can refrigerated flaky biscuits
- 0.5 tsp dried thyme
- 0.25 tsp dried sage
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil (for searing)
- 1 small chopped onion
- 1 stalk chopped celery (optional)
Instructions
- Sear Your Chicken: Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add diced chicken, sear for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside, leaving rendered fats in the skillet.
- Sauté Aromatics: Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 small chopped onion and 1 stalk chopped celery (if using) to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring until softened and fragrant.
- Build the Amber Filling: Stir in 0.25 cup all-purpose flour, cooking for 1 minute until a light paste forms. Slowly whisk in 2 cups chicken broth, then 1 cup milk, ensuring no lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly for 5-8 minutes until thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Add frozen veggies and cooked chicken back to the pan. Season generously with 0.5 tsp thyme, 0.25 tsp sage, 0.25 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Let simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
- Top with Golden Lids: Remove skillet from heat. Carefully arrange 8 biscuits over the simmering filling. Ensure they’re lightly touching but not overlapping too much.
- Bake to Perfection: Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven (375°F/190°C). Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until biscuits are beautifully golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving for easy portioning.
Notes
If the filling looks too thin, continue simmering gently for a few more minutes, or if it’s too thick, stir in 1-2 Tbsp extra broth. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving for easy portioning. For dairy-free, use almond milk and olive oil; for gluten-free, use GF flour and biscuits.
