- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated flaky buttermilk biscuits (or 6–8 homemade biscuits)
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 ribs celery, diced
- 1 cup frozen sweet green peas
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (or whole milk)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary (crushed)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Sauté Chicken & Mirepoix: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 12-inch cast iron skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium-high heat. Sauté chicken cubes, onions, carrots, and celery with salt, pepper, and thyme for 5 to 7 minutes until lightly browned.
- Make Creamy Gravy: Add remaining 2 tbsp butter and minced garlic. Sprinkle flour over skillet and stir for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream until smooth. Stir in green peas and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until thick.
- Top with Biscuits: Remove from heat. Arrange biscuit dough rounds evenly over the hot bubbling filling. Brush biscuit tops lightly with melted butter.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes until biscuits are tall, golden brown, and cooked through, and gravy is bubbly.
- Rest & Serve: Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before spooning into bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy warm!
