Ingredients List

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, diced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
• ½ teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
• 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
• Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

Cook the chicken

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced chicken and cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté vegetables and aromatics

In the same skillet, add onion and garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and translucent. Stir in mixed vegetables and cook for another 3–4 minutes.

Make the creamy filling

Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Slowly add chicken broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Pour in heavy cream, then season with thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3–5 minutes. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine.

Assemble and top with biscuits

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture to a greased 9×9-inch baking dish. Arrange biscuits on top of the filling, spacing them slightly apart.

Bake to perfection

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

FAQs

Can I use frozen chicken or vegetables?
Yes, frozen chicken or mixed vegetables can be used. Thaw chicken first and adjust cooking time for frozen vegetables accordingly.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes, prepare the filling in advance and refrigerate. Add biscuits and bake just before serving.

Can I use puff pastry instead of biscuits?
Absolutely. Puff pastry creates a flakier, more traditional pie crust while still complementing the creamy filling perfectly.
