Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the carrots, celery, and onion to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute.
  5. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Stir in the cooked chicken, salt, and pepper. Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  6. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt for the biscuits. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken mixture in the baking dish.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

You can add other vegetables like peas or corn to the chicken filling. For a richer flavor, you can use heavy cream instead of milk in the filling.
