Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 3 cups Chicken broth
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 can Refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough
• 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of butter and sear the chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side (they do not need to be fully cooked at this stage). Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to create a roux.

Step 5

Slowly add the chicken broth to the skillet, whisking constantly, to create a smooth sauce. Bring to a simmer and let it thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and frozen peas and carrots. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

Step 7

Transfer the sauce mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place the seared chicken breasts on top of the sauce.

Step 8

Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and place the biscuits evenly over the casserole dish, ensuring they are spaced slightly apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, and the sauce is bubbling.

Step 10

Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
