Ingredients
3 cups cooked and shredded/diced chicken (rotisserie chicken or boiled breast/thighs)
1/4 cup butter (for sautéing vegetables)
1 cup chopped onion (yellow or white)
1 cup diced carrots (peeled)
1 cup diced celery (stalks, strings removed)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for the sauce)
1.5 cups chicken broth
2/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups all-purpose flour (for biscuit topping)
1/2 cup butter, cold and cubed (for biscuits)
2/3 cup milk (for biscuits)
1 large egg (for biscuits)
1 tablespoon sugar (baking powder/sugar)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (biscuits)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
In a large skillet, melt 1/4 cup butter. Sauté onion, carrots, and celery until tender (5-7 minutes)
Stir in 1/4 cup flour to coat the vegetables. Cook for 2 minutes
Gradually add chicken broth, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce
Stir in milk, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and garlic powder. Cook until thickened
Add shredded chicken and mix well. Remove from heat
In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly
Pour in 2/3 cup milk and 1 egg. Mix until just combined (dough will be soft)
Pat or roll out dough on a floured surface. Cut into 6 rounds (for 1-2 inch thickness)
Pour chicken mixture into a 9-inch pie dish. Place dough rounds evenly over the filling
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown
Notes
Use leftover chicken for easy prep
Swap chicken broth with vegetable broth for a vegetarian version
Add frozen peas or green beans without thawing for extra veggies
Double the biscuit dough and cut into cubes for a crust instead
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days
