Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups rotisserie chicken, diced
- 1 cup peas, frozen
- ¾ cup onion, finely diced
- 1 cup carrots, diced small
- 3 cups chicken broth, low-sodium
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ⅓ cup flour
- 3 tbsps butter
- ⅔ cup milk
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp chicken bouillon
- ½ tsp poultry seasoning
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 cups baking mix (Bisquick recommended)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- ¾ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsps butter, melted
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preparation: Position oven rack in upper third position and preheat to 400°F (204°C), ensuring optimal cooking environment.
- Vegetable Foundation: In a large oven-safe skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat, then sauté onions and carrots until slightly translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
- Aromatic Enhancement: Introduce minced garlic and cook for 2 minutes, releasing rich, fragrant notes throughout the skillet.
- Roux Development: Sprinkle flour over vegetables, stirring consistently to eliminate raw taste and create a smooth, thickening base for the sauce.
- Liquid Integration: Gradually whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream, generating a velvety sauce that simmers and thickens, creating a luxurious filling texture.
- Flavor Layering: Incorporate cooked chicken, bouillon granules, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper, carefully balancing seasonings to elevate the dish’s complexity.
- Vegetable Incorporation: Fold frozen green peas into the mixture, then remove skillet from heat source.
- Biscuit Preparation: In a separate bowl, blend baking mix, milk, vegetable oil, shredded cheese, and half the garlic powder to form a cohesive biscuit dough.
- Assembly and Baking: Distribute biscuit mixture evenly over chicken filling, creating approximately 9 biscuits, then transfer skillet to preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until biscuits turn golden and filling becomes effervescent.
- Finishing Touch: Combine melted unsalted butter with remaining garlic powder, brushing warm biscuits and garnishing with chopped parsley to enhance visual appeal and flavor complexity.
Notes
- Prevent Lumpy Sauce: Whisk broth and cream gradually and consistently to create a smooth, velvety texture without unwanted flour clumps.
- Boost Flavor Depth: Toast flour briefly before adding liquids to eliminate raw taste and develop a rich, nutty undertone in the sauce.
- Biscuit Placement Tip: Space biscuit dough evenly across the skillet to ensure uniform cooking and attractive golden-brown appearance.
- Garlic Butter Finish: Brush warm biscuits immediately after baking to lock in moisture and enhance the overall aromatic experience.
