Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 cups chopped yellow onion (about 1 large yellow onion)
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup peeled and chopped carrots (about 3 large carrots)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter (diced)
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 green onions (minced)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F.

  2. 2

    In a large dutch oven, over medium heat, melt the butter and then add the garlic, onion, celery and carrots. Saute until softened, about 7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the milk and chicken stock to the sauce. Simmer over low heat for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until thick. Add the chicken and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside.

  4. 4

    In a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and pepper. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is the size of peas. Add the milk and pulse until a dough forms. Mix in the parsley and green onions.

  5. 5

    Drop the biscuit dough in 1/4 cup sized dollops onto the top of the chicken mixture (this will make about 6 large biscuits).

  6. 6

    Place pot into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, until the biscuits are golden and cooked through. Serve immediately.
