Ingredients:
- 700g cooked chicken breast, shredded or cubed
- 85g unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 stalks celery, sliced thin
- 60g all-purpose flour
- 480ml low-sodium chicken broth
- 240ml heavy cream
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp cracked black pepper
- 300g frozen peas, carrots, and corn mix
- 15g fresh parsley, chopped
- 450g refrigerated flaky layers biscuits
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Melt the butter in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion, celery, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until the onions are translucent and the celery has softened.
- Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a blonde roux, ensuring the raw flour smell is gone but the mixture hasn't browned.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Simmer until the sauce thickens into a silky, emulsified gravy.
- Stir in the cooked chicken, frozen vegetable medley, thyme, salt, pepper, and fresh parsley. Remove from heat.
- Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange the chilled biscuits on top of the hot filling.
- Whisk the egg and water to create an egg wash; brush generously over the tops of the biscuits.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until the filling is bubbling and the biscuit topping is deep golden brown and flaky.
