Ingredients
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
6 cups low sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 can (10 count) flaky layer biscuit dough
2 large carrots, diced small
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Sear the chicken thighs in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until golden brown then remove.
Add carrots and celery to the pot and sauté until soft, scraping up the browned bits.
Whisk the flour into the vegetables to create a light roux.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring constantly to prevent clumps.
Return the chicken to the pot and bring to a gentle simmer.
Simmer for 25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove the chicken, shred into bite-sized pieces, and return to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme.
Top the simmering mixture with the biscuit dough rounds.
Cover the pot and steam for 15-20 minutes or until the biscuits are cooked through and fluffy.
Notes
Ensure the pot lid fits tightly to allow the biscuits to steam properly. If using raw chicken, ensure internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit before adding biscuits. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
