Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (30g)
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 small carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (30g)
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth (415ml)
- 1 cup whole milk (240ml)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt, plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) black pepper, plus more to taste
- 2 cups (480 ml) chopped leftover roasted chicken or turkey
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) frozen green peas
- 8 frozen or refrigerated biscuits
- 2 tablespoons whole milk (30ml)
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) melted butter
- flaky sea salt, for serving
- fresh thyme, for serving
Instructions
- Set your oven to 375°F to preheat.
- Warm a large pan on medium-high. Introduce the butter; when it has melted, toss in the diced onion, celery, sliced carrots, and minced garlic. Cook the vegetables for 3-5 minutes until the onion becomes see-through and the vegetables begin to soften.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Dust the vegetables with flour, stirring until fully mixed, and let it cook for a minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth, whole milk, lemon juice, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly, ensuring that the flour blends in well and any bits stuck to the pan are scraped up. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens a bit. Taste the filling and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Take the pan off the heat and blend in the chicken and frozen peas until everything is mixed well.
- Arrange the frozen biscuits on top of the mixture (seven along the edge and one in the center). Lightly coat each biscuit’s top with whole milk using a pastry brush. Bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits achieve a golden brown color and are fully cooked. (If utilizing refrigerated biscuits, check them at around 15-20 minutes as they tend to cook faster.)
- Once out of the oven, brush melted butter over each biscuit. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and fresh thyme before serving.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked roasted chicken or turkey for a time-saving option.
- Adjust the filling’s seasoning to suit your taste before adding the biscuits.
- For a golden, flaky finish, brush the biscuits with whole milk before baking.
