# Directions:

02 - In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery; sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
03 - Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, then milk, stirring constantly until smooth and starting to thicken.
04 - Add shredded chicken, peas, corn, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened. Pour the filling into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
05 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheddar cheese and parsley. Add milk and mix until just combined.
06 - Drop large spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the filling. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and filling is bubbling. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The cheesiest biscuit topping turns humble pot pie into something you would actually order at a restaurant
- Leftovers reheat beautifully for lunch the next day, if there are any
02 -
- Cold butter is non-negotiable for fluffy biscuits, work quickly to keep it from melting
- Overmixing the biscuit dough makes them tough, so stop as soon as the flour disappears
03 -
- Use the largest holes on your box grater to shred your own cheese for better melting
- Let the dish rest for at least 10 minutes so the filling has time to set slightly
