# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 190°C with rack in center. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced carrots, celery, onion, thyme, and half the salt. Sauté, stirring frequently, until vegetables soften and develop slight color, about 5 to 7 minutes.
02 -
Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 2 minutes, then gradually add milk, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and the remaining salt. Whisk to combine. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer, stirring regularly until thickened, about 3 to 5 minutes.
03 -
Fold shredded chicken and frozen peas into the thickened filling. Adjust seasoning with additional salt if necessary.
04 -
Transfer the filling to a 33 cm by 23 cm baking dish. Separate biscuits and arrange evenly over the filling. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper as desired.
05 -
Bake in preheated oven until biscuits are golden brown and risen, and filling is bubbling, approximately 22 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Sweating the vegetables until lightly caramelized enhances flavor complexity. Extend baking time if biscuits are not fully cooked.
