½ cup (75 g) onions, finely diced
½ cup (50 g) celery, finely diced
½ cup (65 g) carrots, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
½ tsp each: onion powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary
¼ tsp ground sage
1/3 cup (42 g) all-purpose flour
120 ml (½ cup) half and half
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 tsp (5 ml) low-sodium soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce
1 cup (135 g) frozen peas
For the Biscuits:

Instructions
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Simmer in broth (lid cracked) for 15 minutes. Remove and shred. Set aside the broth.
In a pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, celery, and carrots. Cook 5–6 minutes.
Add garlic and dried herbs. Cook 1 minute.
Sprinkle in flour and stir for 2 minutes.
Slowly whisk in 2/3 of the reserved broth and half and half. Stir constantly until smooth.
Add bouillon cube and soy sauce. Return chicken to the pan. Simmer to desired thickness.
Mix in frozen peas and heat through.
Transfer filling to an oven-safe skillet or greased 8×8-inch dish.
Top with unbaked biscuits and bake at 220°C (425°F) for 15–18 minutes, or per biscuit instructions.
For crispier tops, brush with butter and bake at 230°C (450°F) for an extra 3–5 minutes.
Notes
Brush biscuit tops with melted butter for golden color.
Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
Add hot sauce or nutmeg for extra depth.
Stir in mushrooms or green beans for more veggies.
Loosen thick sauce with a splash of broth before baking.
