This old-fashioned chicken and biscuits is classic, down-home comfort food!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • ⅓ cup butter
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup peeled and chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 cups cooked, diced or shredded chicken
  • ½ cup frozen peas ((not thawed))
  • 2 cups Bisquick
  • ⅔-¾ cup cold buttermilk ((or sub with regular milk))
  • ½ cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon dried parsley
  • 2 tablespoons butter, (melted)
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a 2 ½ - 3-quart casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together chicken broth and half-and-half. Set aside. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery; sauté for 10 minutes. Add flour and continue cooking and stirring for 1 more minute. Reduce heat to medium and gradually stir in the chicken broth mixture. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring regularly, until thick and bubbly (about 5-6 minutes). Make sure that the mixture doesn’t boil. Stir in the salt and pepper. Add chicken and frozen peas. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for about 10 minutes while you prepare the biscuit dough.

  2. 2

    Use a fork to stir together the Bisquick mix, buttermilk, cheese, and parsley until a soft dough forms. Start with ⅔ cup of buttermilk, and gradually add more (if needed) to bring the dough together. It shouldn't be too wet, but you don't want any dry pockets of flour.
