Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large baking dish.

02

Step

In a large pot, combine the chicken, carrots, celery, and bouillon cube. Add enough water to cover the ingredients. Bring to a boil, then cover and cook until the chicken is no longer pink inside (approximately 10-15 minutes). Drain the mixture, reserving both the chicken and the broth in separate containers.

03

Step

Melt the butter in the same pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and cook for about 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in the flour, poultry seasoning, basil, thyme, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Add the peas and the cooked chicken along with the reserved broth. Simmer over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes. Pour the thickened mixture into the prepared baking dish.

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the mixture is bubbling, around 20-25 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven and evenly arrange the biscuit dough on top of the bubbling mixture. Cover the dish and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until the biscuits are golden brown, approximately 15-20 minutes more.

For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. Be sure to adjust cooking time accordingly.
Fresh herbs can be substituted for dried herbs. Use about 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs for every teaspoon of dried herbs.
Feel free to add other vegetables, such as mushrooms or potatoes, to the casserole.
If you don't have refrigerated biscuit dough, you can use homemade dumplings or even store-bought gnocchi.

    I added a can of cream of mushroom soup to the sauce for extra creaminess. It was delicious!

    The key is not to overcook the chicken. It should be tender and juicy.
