- 1.25 tsp kosher salt adjust to taste

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Warm olive oil and 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Soften onion, carrots, and celery in the skillet, stirring occasionally, 5–6 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Melt remaining 2 tbsp butter. Sprinkle in flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
- Whisk in broth, then milk, a little at a time. Simmer until thick and silky, 3–5 minutes.
- Off heat, stir in sour cream, thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, paprika, and half the cheese.
- Fold in chicken and peas until evenly distributed.
- Spread the creamy filling in the prepared baking dish.
- Arrange biscuit quarters over the top and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Bake 18–22 minutes, until biscuits are deep golden and the filling bubbles at the edges.
- Let the casserole rest 10 minutes before serving so the sauce sets.
Notes
Variation: Swap peas for chopped steamed broccoli, or add a pinch of cayenne for gentle heat. To store, refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat covered at 350°F until warmed through.
