  • 6 tablespoons of butter
  • 1 cup of diced yellow onion
  • ½ cup of diced celery
  • ½ cup of diced carrots
  • salt and pepper
  • ⅓ cup of dry white wine
  • ¼ teaspoon of dried thyme
  • 4 cups of chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons of cold water
  • 2 tablespoon of cornstarch
  • ¼ cup of heavy cream
  • 1-2 dashes of Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup of frozen peas
  • 1 tablebspoons of fresh thyme
  • 2 cups of flour
  • 1 tablespoon of baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon of baking soda
  • ⅔ cup of grated Gruyere cheese
  • 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon of chopped dill
  • 1 cup of of milk

Directions

  1. Start by melting the butter (2 tablespoons) in a soup pot.
  2. Add the onion, celery and carrots and season it with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Cover the pot and, with the heat on medium-low, allow 5-7 minutes for the vegetables to tender.
  4. Add the thyme and wine and let it reduce.
  5. Then add the broth and let it simmer.
  6. In a glass, mix the water and the cornstarch. This will thicken the mixture. Add it to the pot and stir.
  7. Once it's thicken, turn it to low, add the heavy cream, fresh thyme, Worcestershire sauce, frozen peas and correct the salt and paper.
  8. Set aside and let it cool.
  9. With the help of two forks, shred the roasted chicken.
  10. Add it to the pot and mix everything together.
  11. Poor the mixture in a baking casserole dish and preheat your oven at 425F.
  12. You can always use some ready to make biscuits to save a little bit of time, but the homemade touch always seems to make everything taste better.
  13. Now, for the homemade biscuits, start by combining the flour, baking soda, baking powder (4 tablespoons) and butter in a large bowl. Mix it with your hands.
  14. Add the milk, grated gruyere, dill and parsley and mix it together.
  15. After waiting 5 minutes to allow the baking soda to do its magic, the dough should look like this.
  16. Now scoop the dough into the casserole dish. Leave some space between the biscuits scoops so they can grow in the oven.
  17. Bake the casserole for 35-40 minutes or until the biscuits start to bubble and get a lovely golden brown color.

Tip

Cut the meat into even pieces and avoid overcooking it during the initial browning.
