Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 celery ribs, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup milk, plus 1 tbsp if needed
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

  1. Melt 3 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onion, celery, carrots with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper for 5 to 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
  2. Sprinkle 1/4 cup flour over vegetables, stir 1 minute. Whisk in 2 cups broth and 1 cup milk. Simmer until thickened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with remaining salt, pepper, and thyme.
  3. Remove from heat, stir in chicken and peas. Pour into a 9x13-inch baking dish or 10-inch cast iron skillet.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F. Whisk 2 cups flour, baking powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly, fold in cheese, then stir in 3/4 cup milk just until combined.
  5. Drop 1/4-cup scoops of dough over the filling. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until biscuits are golden and filling bubbles.
  6. Mix melted butter, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and parsley. Brush over hot biscuits. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Letting the pot pie sit for 5 minutes after baking helps the filling set up so it isn't too thin. If the sauce looks a little loose before adding the biscuits, simmer it a minute longer or sprinkle in an extra tablespoon of flour.
