  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 2 cups mixed frozen vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp dried thyme

  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ¾ cup buttermilk

Instructions

  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook until translucent (about 4–5 minutes).
  3. Stir in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
  4. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk. Bring to a simmer until thickened (5–7 minutes).

  8. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt for the biscuit topping.
  9. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  10. Stir in buttermilk until a soft dough forms.
  11. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the filling.
  12. Bake in preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until biscuits are golden.
  13. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use low-sodium chicken broth to control saltiness. Consider adding sautéed mushrooms or chopped spinach for extra nutrition.
