Can I swap in rotisserie chicken?

Totally! Grab 2-3 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken and skip poaching. Use chicken broth for the sauce to keep it flavorful.

What do I do without an oven-safe skillet?

Easy fix! Spoon the filling into a greased 8x8 pan, then pop the biscuits on top before putting it in the oven.

Is this okay to prep ahead?

You bet! Make the filling, chill it, and when you're ready, heat it back up, toss on the biscuits, and bake as usual.

Why do you cook the chicken in broth first?

Cooking it this way keeps the meat juicy and uses the tasty broth for the sauce. Nothing goes to waste that way!

Can I mix in other veggies?

For sure! Add in mushrooms, frozen peas, sweet corn, or even green beans. Cook fresh ones with the onions or toss frozen ones in later.

Ingredients

→ Chicken with broth base

01 3 cups chicken broth

02 Salt and black pepper as needed

03 2 small chicken breasts, no bones or skin

→ Savory filling mix

04 ½ cup diced carrots

05 ½ teaspoon ground rosemary

06 ½ cup diced celery

07 2 minced garlic cloves

08 4 tablespoons of butter

09 1 teaspoon soy sauce, low-sodium

10 ½ teaspoon dried thyme

11 ½ teaspoon powdered onion

12 ¼ teaspoon sage powder

13 ½ cup finely chopped onions

14 1 chicken bouillon cube

15 1 cup frozen peas

16 ⅓ cup plain flour

17 ½ cup half-and-half cream

→ Topping options

18 Unbaked buttermilk biscuits or ready-made refrigerated dough

19 Optional: melted butter for finishing touch

Steps

Step 01

Mix up your biscuit dough and shape them, but skip baking for now. Keep them cool in the fridge while you prep the rest.

Step 02

Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken, then simmer it in the broth in a mid-sized pot with the lid slightly open. Let it cook about 15 minutes until ready, then shred it apart with forks. Keep the broth for later.

Step 03

Melt butter over medium heat in a large oven-friendly pan. Toss in celery, carrots, and onions. Cook for around 5 minutes until softened, then add garlic with the spices and keep cooking for another minute.

Step 04

Sprinkle in the flour over the veggies and mix everything up. Stir for 2 minutes to cook away the floury taste.

Step 05

Pour about two-thirds of the leftover broth bit by bit, stirring after each splash. Do the same with the cream. Toss in the soy sauce and bouillon until they dissolve.

Step 06

Mix the shredded chicken into the gravy and then stir in the peas. Let them warm up. For a looser consistency, pour in some of the extra broth.

Step 07

Take the skillet off the heat and place your prepped biscuits over the filling. Bake in the oven at 425°F for about 15-18 minutes until the biscuits turn golden.

Step 08

To make the biscuit tops extra pretty, brush on some butter and bake for 3-5 minutes more at 450°F.
