For the Biscuits:

  • 1 teaspoon salt 🧂
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed 🧈
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk 🥛

📝 Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

  1. Preheat the oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Make the Creamed Chicken Filling:

  1. Cook the vegetables:
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery, and cook for about 5-6 minutes until softened.
  1. Make the roux:
  • Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  1. Add the liquids:
  • Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
  1. Add seasonings and chicken:
  • Stir in the thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the shredded chicken and peas, mixing until everything is combined and coated in the creamy sauce.
  1. Transfer to baking dish:
  • Pour the creamed chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish.

3. Prepare the Biscuits:

  1. Make the biscuit dough:
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  1. Add the buttermilk:
  • Stir in the buttermilk until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
  1. Shape the biscuits:
  • Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits and place them on top of the creamed chicken mixture in the baking dish.

4. Bake:

  1. Bake the casserole:
  • Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter and bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

5. Serve:
