Ingredients

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

2 tbsp olive oil

1 cup chopped onion

1 cup sliced carrots

1 cup sliced celery

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves

2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped

2 cups frozen peas

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (for biscuits)

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed

1 cup buttermilk

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.

2. Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and brown chicken thighs on both sides until golden, remove and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, add onions, carrots, celery, and garlic, sauté until vegetables are tender.

5. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream, cooking until thickened and bubbly.

6. Add thyme, rosemary, and peas; return chicken to the skillet, and stir to combine.

7. Transfer mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish.

8. For the biscuits, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

9. Stir in buttermilk until just combined, then drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the chicken mixture.

10. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

11. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
