Chicken Biscuit Skillet is a comforting, one-pan meal that combines tender pieces of chicken with fluffy, golden biscuits in a creamy, savory sauce.

The chicken is cooked with vegetables and a flavorful sauce, then topped with biscuits that bake to a crisp, golden brown right in the skillet. This meal is easy to prepare and offers all the satisfaction of a classic chicken pot pie but with a biscuit twist.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cubed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (or homemade biscuit dough)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the diced onion, garlic, and carrots. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Stir in the frozen peas.
- Make the sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the heavy cream and thyme, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Combine chicken and sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to combine it with the sauce and vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the biscuits: Arrange the biscuit dough on top of the chicken mixture in the skillet.
- Bake: Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
