Ingredients
- 12 ozs Carrots
- 1 Yellow Onion
- 1⁄4 oz Fresh Thyme
- 4 tbsps Flour
- 4 tbsps Cream Cheese
- 5 ozs Celery
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 20 ozs Chicken Breast
- 1 3⁄4 cups Chicken Broth
- 12 ozs Buttermilk Homestyle Biscuits
- 2 tsps Vegetable Oil
- 5 tbsps Butter
- Salt to taste
- Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Trim, peel, and finely dice carrots. Finely dice celery. Dice the onion. Peel and mince garlic. Mince all the thyme leaves.
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably ovenproof, pan over medium heat. Add chicken in a single layer; season with a big pinch of both salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned all over, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Reserve 1 tsp minced thyme. Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for chicken over medium-high heat. Add carrots, celery, and diced onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until veggies are softened, 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and remaining minced thyme; cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. TIP: Lower heat if veggies begin to brown too quickly.
Add 4 Tbsp butter to pan with veggies. Once melted, stir in flour; cook for 1 minute. Pour in 1¾ cups chicken stock, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened, 3-5 minutes. Turn off heat. Stir in cream cheese until melted, then stir in chicken. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: If filling is too thick, stir in another splash of water. If your pan isn’t ovenproof, transfer filling to an 13-by-9-inch baking dish after stirring in chicken.
Place 1 TBSP butter in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until melted, 30 seconds. Remove biscuits from package; peel apart each biscuit at the center to create two thinner ones. Evenly top filling with biscuits, then brush with melted butter and sprinkle with reserved minced thyme. Bake on top rack until biscuits are golden brown and chicken is cooked through, 12-15 minutes.
Let pot pie cool at least 5 minutes before serving. Spoon into shallow bowls or plates and serve.
