Ingredients
- 2 small boneless skinless chicken breasts
- salt and pepper - to taste
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup onions - finely diced
- ½ cup celery - finely diced
- ½ cup carrots - finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic - minced

- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce - can substitute Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
- Make your buttermilk biscuits but don't bake them yet. Store the formed biscuits on a plate in the fridge while you prepare the pot pie filling.
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add to a medium saucepan with chicken broth and simmer gently with lid cracked for 15 minutes until cooked through. Remove chicken and shred with forks, reserving the flavorful broth.
- Melt butter in a wide 12-inch pan over medium heat. Sauté onions, celery, and carrots for 5-6 minutes until softened. Add garlic and seasonings, cooking for 1 more minute.
- Add flour and toss to coat vegetables. Cook for 2 minutes until raw flour smell disappears. Slowly add ⅔ of the reserved chicken broth in small splashes, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Add half and half, chicken bouillon, soy sauce, and shredded chicken. Stir in frozen peas and heat through. Remove from heat and transfer to greased 8x8 baking dish if needed.
- Place prepared biscuits on top of filling. Bake at 425°F for 15-18 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through in the center.
Notes
The secret to perfect chicken pot pie with biscuits is patience with the gravy and gentle cooking for tender chicken. This tastes even better the next day when all those comforting flavors have melded together beautifully.
