Ingredients
- 3 Tbps butter
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup diced red pepper
- ⅓ cup flour

Biscuit topping:

- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 diced green onion optional
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and red pepper to the pan. Cook over medium heat until onions are slightly tender.
- Whisk the flour into the pan and cook until flour begins to look golden.
- Slowly whisk in the chicken broth to avoid lumps. Then do the same with the milk.
- Allow mixture to cook until slightly thickened.
- Mix in the salt, pepper, chicken, and frozen carrots and peas.
- Pour mixture into a 9 x 13 baking dish or divide between six individual casserole dishes.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the eggs, milk, cheese, and green onion to the flour mixture and stir with a spoon just until combined.
- Drop tablespoons of the dough on top of the vegetable chicken mixture. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden. Serves 6.
