  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup peas
  • 1 cup potatoes, diced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cheddar Sage Biscuits:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried sage (or 1 teaspoon fresh, finely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  1. 1. Prepare Chicken and Vegetables:
    Cook chicken if not already cooked. Shred into bite-sized pieces. Dice carrots, potatoes, and onion; mince garlic.
  2. 2. Make the Filling:
    Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook 3–4 minutes until soft and fragrant. Add carrots and potatoes; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir 1–2 minutes. Gradually pour in chicken broth, stirring constantly. Add milk and thyme; simmer 5–7 minutes until thickened. Stir in chicken and peas. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
  3. 3. Prepare the Biscuits:
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sage. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheddar cheese. Add buttermilk; mix gently until soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  4. 4. Assemble the Pie:
    Pour filling into a greased baking dish. Spread or spoon biscuit dough evenly on top, leaving small gaps for steam. Optionally, shape into individual biscuits.
  5. 5. Bake the Pie:
    Bake 20–25 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and filling bubbles. Cover with foil last 5–10 minutes if biscuits brown too quickly.

Notes

Filling can be made a day ahead; add biscuit topping before baking.

For individual servings, use ramekins and adjust baking time to 15–20 minutes.

Use frozen vegetables if needed; slightly adjust cooking time.
