Ingredients
Filling
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
- 1 medium sweet onion chopped
- 1 stalk celery chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups heaping frozen peas and carrots defrosted
- 4 cups shredded cooked chicken from a rotisserie chicken
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- salt and pepper
Biscuit topping
- 2 1/4 cups White Lily flour or 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons very cold butter cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 3/4 to 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a 3-quart casserole dish.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet with high sides or a Dutch oven. Add onion and celery and cook until soft, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute. Season with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle the 1/2 cup flour over onion and celery and stir for 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in chicken broth and then heavy cream. Bring to a boil and add peas and carrots, chicken and thyme.
- Simmer until thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour into prepared casserole dish.
- To make biscuit topping, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut the butter into the flour mixture using your hands until there are no pieces bigger than a small pea. Stir in buttermilk just until combined. You may not need all of it. You just need enough for all of the flour to be incorporated.
- Drop biscuit dough evenly over top of casserole. Drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
