1 tablespoon olive oil
Preparation:
1. Sauté the Veggies: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes, and cook for 30 seconds more.
2. Brown the Chicken: Add chicken to the pot and cook until browned on all sides.
3. Create the Roux: Sprinkle flour over the chicken and vegetables, and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream until smooth.
4. Simmer and Flavor: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in peas and carrots, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Assemble the Pot Pie: Pour the filling into a 9×13 inch baking dish. Cut Cheddar Bay biscuits into quarters and arrange them over the filling, overlapping slightly.
6. Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
