- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup frozen corn
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 (10.2 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Stir in the flour to coat the vegetables. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until the mixture is smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring until it thickens.
- Stir in the heavy cream, cooked chicken, frozen peas, frozen corn, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.
- Pour the creamy chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough and arrange the biscuits on top of the filling, leaving small gaps between them.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute half of the heavy cream with half-and-half.
- You can prepare the filling mixture a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Add the biscuits just before baking.
- If you do not have canned biscuits, you can use a simple homemade drop biscuit topping instead.
