Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken thighs with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
Add the chicken to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Sprinkle the vegetables with 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Stir well and cook for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Return the cooked chicken thighs to the pot. Bring the stew to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Cook for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the chicken thighs, shred them into bite-sized pieces using two forks, and return the shredded chicken to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream, frozen peas, and chopped thyme. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Transfer the stew to a large oven-safe casserole dish.
Open the canned biscuit dough and place the biscuits on top of the stew, evenly spaced.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fluffy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
