Directions:Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat, then add the onion, carrots, and celery. Stir them around until the onions start to turn translucent, about 3 minutes. |Sprinkle the flour over the top and stir it until it’s all combined .Cook for 1 minute, then pour in the chicken broth and stir it around and add chicken or turkey, let it cook and thicken.
Once it starts to thicken add the salt, pepper, and thyme.
Add the half-and-half or cream, then stir the mixture and let it bubble up and thicken, about 3 minutes. If it seems overly thick, splash in a little more broth. Turn off the heat.
Pour into casserole dish and bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes before topping with biscuits
.
For the Biscuits:
In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, melted butter and milk. Stir in the shredded cheddar.
Remove the casserole dish from the oven. Working quickly, use a 1/4 Cup measuring cup to drop the cheddar biscuits on top of the casserole evenly. Return to the oven and cook for another 15 minutes, until the biscuits are cooked through.
If using the optional biscuit topping, whisk together all of the topping ingredients in a small bowl and brush over the tops of the cooked biscuits.
Serve immediately. |
