# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. Dice 1 medium yellow onion, 1 cup chopped carrots, and 1 cup chopped celery, preparing them for the hearty filling.
02 -
In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, cook the chicken pieces until lightly browned. Remove chicken and set aside. Add 1/4 cup unsalted butter to the skillet, then sauté the diced onion, carrots, and celery until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
03 -
Stir in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth and 1 1/2 cups whole milk until smooth. Add 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp dried sage, salt and black pepper to taste. Return the cooked chicken to the pan for your Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits - Easy Family Dinner.
04 -
Bring the filling to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup frozen green peas. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed to perfect the flavor of your Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits - Easy Family Dinner.
05 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter until crumbly. Stir in 3/4 cup whole milk until just combined to form a soft, shaggy dough.
06 -
Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the hot chicken filling in the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly. This completes the Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits - Easy Family Dinner.
07 -
Let your Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits - Easy Family Dinner rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set and prevents burns. Carefully scoop out portions and enjoy this comforting, homemade meal!
# Notes:
01 -
For extra flaky biscuits, ensure your butter is very cold and handle the dough as little as possible to avoid overworking it.
02 -
Leftover Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.

Feel free to customize the vegetables! Add diced potatoes, corn, or mushrooms for variety, adjusting cook times as needed for firmer vegetables.
