Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion finely diced
- 2 ribs celery finely diced
- 2 carrots grated
- 1 cup chopped broccoli
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary or parsley, thyme, and/or oregano
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken stock/broth
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken such as rotisserie
- 2 cups whole milk divided
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour or 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat two tablespoons of the butter in a heavy dutch oven or cast iron skillet.
- Add onions, celery, carrots, broccoli, and rosemary and saute until tender (about 5 minutes).
- Add all-purpose flour (2 tablespoons); stir until vegetables are coated. Add peas (1 cup).
- Add chicken stock (2 cups) and stir (gravy should begin to thicken). Season with salt and pepper liberally.
- Add cooked chicken (2 cups) and 1 cup of the milk. Stir, heat through, and turn off heat once it is thickened.
- Meanwhile, mix together whole wheat flour (1.5 cups), baking powder (1 teaspoon), remaining 4 tablespoons butter (melted), and remaining 1 cup milk in a small bowl. Season with salt. Stir until combined.
- Spoon biscuit dough on top of chicken mixture (it does not have to be evenly spread- it will expand while cooking and float to the top).
- Bake in oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
