Ingredients:
For the Filling:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 cup frozen peas
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Biscuits:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
3/4 cup milk
Instructions:
For the Filling:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the cooked chicken. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Gradually add the chicken broth and milk, stirring continuously. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the frozen peas, thyme, salt, and pepper. Transfer the filling to a 9×13 inch baking dish or individual ramekins.
For the Biscuits:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the milk, stirring just until the dough comes together.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 3/4-inch thickness. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter or a glass.
Assembly:
Place the biscuits on top of the chicken filling in the baking dish.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving.
