Instructions

Chicken Filling

In a Dutch oven skillet, heat the olive oil to medium heat and sauté the carrots, celery, and onion for 6-7 minutes (or until tender and traslucent).
Add in the garlic and sauté for another minute then add in the salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary and mix to combine.
Next, add in the butter and let it melt fully. Then sprinkle in the flour and mix well until everything is combined and somewhat paste like.
Pour in the chicken stock slowly, stirring well in between to work the butter and flour mixture into the liquid. Then add in the milk.
Bring everything to a low simmer and stir in the frozen peas and cooked chicken. Turn the stove off and let the filling rest.

Drop Biscuits

Preheat the oven to 425 F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir until combined.
Cut the stick of butter into small cubes, then work it into the dough with a pastry cutter, fork, or your hands.
Make a well and pour the milk into the center and use a fork to mix the dough together until dense and paste like.
Use a large spoon to scoop and loosely form 7 drop biscuits.
Place the biscuits onto the top of the chicken filling mixture carefully around the sides and one into the center.
Place the Dutch oven into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and set.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving and enjoy!

Notes

Want to use storebought biscuits? Use a mix or canned biscuit dough instead for a quicker cook. Simply follow the same chicken filling instructions and bake according to the biscuit package instructions instead.
