- Add chopped cooked chicken and defrosted peas. Stir and season again to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Biscuits
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, thyme, dill, and parsley. Using your hands or a pastry cutter, blend the cold butter into the flour until there is no longer any large clumps. Add grated parmesan cheese and stir. Using a fork, mix milk into the flour mixture until it sticks together. You may or may not need the full cup of milk. Don’t overmix! Once it forms a ball, set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
- Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, spoon balls of the biscuits and drop them into the sauce leaving a little space between each one. The biscuits should cover the entire surface of the sauce.
- Bake in a preheated 425F oven for 35-40 minutes. The sauce should be bubbly and the biscuits golden brown.
- Garnish with parsley and enjoy!!
