Steps
Season the chicken with chicken seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet. Cook the chicken until fully cooked, then chop it into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, cook the celery, carrots, and onion in the remaining butter until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Stir in the flour and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream until the mixture thickens.
Mix the cooked chicken and steamed broccoli into the sauce. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the filling to a greased deep 11-inch pie plate or a 9×13 baking dish. Scoop the prepared biscuit dough over the top of the filling.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the dish for about 20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Mix the melted butter with the garlic herb seasoning packet and brush it over the biscuits. Allow the dish to rest for 15 minutes before serving.
Tips
- Letting the dish rest ensures the filling sets, making it easier to serve.
