Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, cubed
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
• 1/2 cup diced celery
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
• 3/4 cup milk

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the flour to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
4. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Cook until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer.
5. Stir in the garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
6. Add the cooked chicken and shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cheese melts and the chicken is coated in the creamy sauce.
7. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt for the biscuits. Cut in the cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
8. Gradually add the milk, stirring until the dough comes together.
9. Transfer the chicken mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough onto the top of the chicken mixture.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
11. Serve hot and enjoy!
