Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless chicken breast, cubed
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups frozen vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp dried thyme
1 can (8-10 count) refrigerated biscuits
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Salt to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced onions until translucent.
Add the cubed chicken to the skillet, cooking until browned on all sides, then stir in the minced garlic.
Sprinkle the flour over the chicken mixture and stir continuously for two minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming in the sauce.
Add the frozen vegetables, heavy cream, dried thyme, and salt to taste, simmering until thickened.
Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Top the mixture with the refrigerated biscuits and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Notes
Ensure the gravy is thickened sufficiently before transferring to the baking dish to keep the biscuits from getting soggy. You can swap fresh rosemary for thyme for a different aromatic profile. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
