Instructions

1. In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat butter and oil over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery. Cook 5–7 minutes until softened. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute more.

2. Sprinkle flour over the veggies and stir constantly for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.

3. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk. Let simmer for 5–7 minutes until the sauce thickens.

4. Stir in shredded chicken, peas, thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, and parsley. Remove from heat.

5. In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Stir in buttermilk just until combined.

6. Scoop spoonfuls of biscuit dough and place evenly on top of the chicken mixture.

7. Transfer skillet to a preheated 400°F oven. Bake 20–25 minutes until the biscuits are golden and cooked through.

8. Let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with more parsley before serving.

Notes

Don’t overmix the biscuit dough; it keeps them tender and fluffy.

Use whole milk or half-and-half for a creamy, rich sauce.

Make the chicken stew ahead and add fresh biscuits before baking.
