  • 3 medium carrots, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced (about 1½ cups)
  • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 tsp. salt, divided
  • 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 tbsp. all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 tsp. mustard powder
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 4 c. cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 c. frozen peas
  • 2 (16.3-ounce tube) biscuit dough

Directions

Step 1 – Preheat oven to 375º with rack in the center. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add carrots, onion, oregano, and ½ teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring often, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add flour, and stir to coat vegetables. Cook for 2 minutes more, then add milk, broth, mustard powder, garlic powder, and remaining ½ tsp salt, whisking to combine. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring often, until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Fold in chicken and peas .

Step 2 – Transfer mixture to a 9×13 baking dish. Cut each biscuit into six pieces. Arrange biscuit pieces on top of filling. Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper.

Step 3 – Bake until filling is bubbling and biscuits are golden and risen, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
