I am Alex, and I am happy you are here. This recipe proves that incredible, soul-satisfying food does not need to be complicated. Make this creamy, hearty comfort food classic on a weeknight with simple steps.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works well)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (10.2 ounce) package refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into quarters

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Stir in the thyme and sage. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  4. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth until the mixture is smooth. Bring the liquid to a simmer, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the shredded chicken, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low to keep the mixture warm but not boiling rapidly.
  6. Arrange the quartered biscuit pieces evenly over the top of the simmering chicken mixture. Do not stir them in.
  7. Cover the pot tightly and cook on low heat for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and cooked through. You can check one biscuit for doneness.
  8. Serve immediately. This is a hearty family favorite and a classic American dinner.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use leftover roasted chicken.
  • If you prefer a thicker stew base, let the broth simmer uncovered for an extra 5 minutes before adding the biscuits.
  • You can use canned cream of chicken soup instead of making a roux with flour and broth for an even quicker prep.
