    How to Make Creamy Chicken with Herbed Cheese Biscuits

    1. Preheat and Prep

    Position an oven rack in the middle and preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for the biscuits.

    2. Biscuit Assembly

    In a mixing bowl, combine the biscuit mix, ¾ cup of chicken broth, shredded Gruyère, 1 tablespoon of minced tarragon, and pepper until the mixture comes together. Using two greased tablespoons, form 12 equal mounds of dough on the prepared baking sheet, approximately 2 heaping tablespoons each. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the biscuits puff up and the bottoms are lightly browned.

    3. Filling Preparation

    Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high in a 12-inch skillet. Add the leeks and mushrooms, cooking until soft and slightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in the flour and garlic, cook for around 1 minute till lightly browned. Gradually whisk in the remaining 2¼ cups of broth and the cream, ensuring to dissolve any lumps and incorporate the browned bits from the pan. Simmer until the mixture thickens, which should take 3 to 5 minutes. Fold in the shredded chicken, peas, and the remaining tarragon. Remove from heat and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

    4. Assemble and Bake

    Lightly grease a 13 by 9-inch baking dish and pour in the chicken filling. Arrange the pre-baked biscuits on top of the filling. Continue baking for about 10 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the biscuits are well-browned.

    5. To Serve

    Allow the dish to cool slightly before serving to let the flavors meld.

    Variations

    Chicken Alfredo

    Use parmesan in the sauce and serve over pasta instead of with biscuits.

    Chicken Curry

    Infuse the roux with curry powder, garlic, ginger, and serve with naan or rice.

    Creamy Mushroom Chicken

    Add sautéed mushrooms and thyme to the sauce.

    Garlic Parmesan Biscuits

    Add garlic powder and swap the cheese for parmesan.

    Chicken Pot Pie

    Use the creamy chicken as a filling, topped with puff pastry or pie dough instead of biscuits.
