Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and diced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced thin
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp celery salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1 tbsp butter, melted

Method
 

  1. Melt 2 tbsp butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sliced celery and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until soft. Add the minced garlic and cook 1 more minute.
  2. Stir in the 1/3 cup flour and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the 2 cups chicken broth slowly, whisking to prevent lumps, then add the 1/2 cup heavy cream. Whisk over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
  3. Add the diced chicken, 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, 1 cup frozen corn, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp celery salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt. Simmer on medium-low for 5 minutes.
  4. Arrange the biscuits from the 16.3 oz can over the filling with small gaps between them. Brush with the 1 tbsp melted butter. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 22 to 25 minutes until deep golden brown.
  5. Let sit for 3 minutes, then spoon a biscuit and a generous portion of filling into each bowl and finish with a crack of black pepper on top.

Notes

This recipe works best in a 10 to 12 inch oven-safe skillet; anything smaller and the biscuits will crowd together and take longer to bake through. If you are making the filling ahead of time, reheat it until it is actively bubbling before adding the biscuits, otherwise the bake time will be off. Celery salt is the one ingredient I would not swap out here; it is a small thing, but it is the note that makes the filling taste like the original.
