Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup diced yellow onion
- 1 cup sliced celery
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 3 cups cooked chicken, diced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a large cast iron skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, celery, and carrots; cook until softened (5-7 minutes). Stir in garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
- Sprinkle flour over the veggies, stirring for one minute before gradually whisking in chicken broth and milk until thickened. Add peas, chicken, thyme, salt, and pepper; simmer gently then remove from heat.
- For biscuits, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until crumbly; stir in cheddar cheese.
- Add buttermilk to the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Pat dough to about ½ inch thickness and cut out biscuits.
