Ingredients Notes
Fresh quality ingredients are key to the success of this dish. For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality chicken breasts or thighs. If you’re short on time or ingredients, rotisserie chicken is a great substitute. Opt for low-sodium chicken broth to control the saltiness. Adding herbs such as thyme or rosemary can elevate the flavor profile.
Recipe Steps
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare all your ingredients so they’re ready to use. This makes the cooking process seamless and ensures nothing is forgotten.
Step 2
In a large ovenproof skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and garlic, cooking until the onions are translucent and aromatic.
Step 3
Add bite-sized pieces of chicken to the skillet, cooking until browned on all sides. Season with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs for added depth of flavor.
Step 4
Pour in chicken broth and stir in frozen peas and carrots. Allow the mixture to simmer until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is fully cooked through.

Storage Options
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze in portions—simply thaw in the refrigerator before reheating. To reheat, place in a preheated oven until warmed through and biscuits regain their crispness.
Variations & Substitutions
For a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter and milk alternatives. Mix things up by swapping chicken for turkey or introducing mushrooms for a vegetarian option. Incorporate different veggies such as broccoli or bell peppers for added nutrients.
Serving Suggestions
This dish is perfect for a cozy dinner at home or a potluck with friends. Serve it alongside a fresh green salad or steamed green beans to round out the meal. A crisp glass of white wine complements the flavors beautifully.
