Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 1 cup celery, sliced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup potatoes, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or milk
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
Instructions:
- Prepare the Stew: In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and potatoes. Sauté until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Create the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the stew has thickened.
- Add the Cream: Stir in the heavy cream or milk and frozen peas. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the stew is creamy and heated through.
- Prepare the Biscuits: While the stew is simmering, preheat the oven according to the biscuit package instructions. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough on top of the stew in the pot or transfer the stew to an oven-safe baking dish and then top with the biscuit dough.
- Bake: Place the pot or baking dish in the oven and bake according to the biscuit package instructions, usually 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the stew from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the comforting combination of rich stew and fluffy biscuits.
