For the Parmesan Herb Butter Biscuits:
- 1 (8-count) can refrigerated biscuits (Southern-style preferred)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme, de-stemmed
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, de-stemmed and roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat and Sauté Vegetables: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat butter and olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, leeks, and peas. Sauté until tender.
- Add Chicken and Flour: Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in shredded chicken. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Make Sauce: Pour in chicken broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer until thickened. Add thyme, rosemary, and Creole Cajun seasoning. Stir in heavy cream and cook until thick and creamy. Remove from heat.
- Top with Biscuits: Arrange biscuits over the chicken mixture. In a bowl, combine melted butter, Parmesan cheese, thyme, and rosemary for the biscuit topping. Brush half of the butter mixture over the biscuits.
- Bake: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Brush biscuits with remaining Parmesan herb butter and serve immediately.
Notes
- Chicken: 1 lb of boneless, skinless chicken breasts yields about 2 heaping cups of cooked and shredded chicken.
- Gluten-Free: Substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free baking flour, arrowroot flour, or tapioca flour.
