Ingredients
  

Filling:

  • 3 Tbsp salted butter
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 5 Tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ tsp salt
  • tsp black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp dry minced onion
  • ¼ tsp dry thyme
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 4 cups cooked chicken
  • 2 cups frozen vegetables I used mixed vegetables

Biscuit Topping:

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt heaping
  • ½ cup buttermilk very cold
  • ¼ cup salted butter melted and cooled slightly

Instructions
 

  • Dice the celery and chop the chicken. Spray a 2 1/2 or 3-quart casserole dish with cooking spray. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • For filling: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add celery and saute till crisp tender.
  • Whisk in the flour till it is all absorbed. Then whisk in the broth and milk. Turn heat to medium and continue cooking and stirring till mixture comes to a boil. Boil and stir for at least a minute.
  • Add seasonings, chicken, and vegetables, stir until combined. Turn the heat to the very lowest setting while you prepare the biscuits.
  • For biscuits: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Pour buttermilk into a 1 cup liquid measuring cup. Stir in the melted butter. It will harden into little butter chunks-that's what you want.
  • Pour the liquid over the dry ingredients and stir lightly. Pat out onto a floured surface until about 1/2" thick. Cut into circles with a biscuit cutter.
  • Pour the hot filling into the prepared dish. Arrange the biscuits over the top. Feel free to use scraps of dough to fill in the holes.
  • Bake at 400° for about 30 minutes, or until filling is bubbly and biscuits are golden brown.

Notes

My family likes a thick and hearty filling. If you want yours more saucy, add an additional 1/2 cup of milk or chicken broth.
