Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
- 1 batch homemade biscuits (see recipe below)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, coating both sides.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, whisk in the remaining flour mixture until well combined. Gradually add the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
- Add the frozen peas, diced carrots, and chopped parsley to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the creamy sauce over them. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thickened.
- While the chicken is simmering, prepare the homemade biscuits according to the recipe below.
- To serve, place a homemade biscuit on a plate and top with a chicken breast and a generous spoonful of the creamy sauce. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
