Chicken Stew with Biscuits

This is my favorite comfort food! It’s so cozy and satisfying on a cold day.

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3-4 carrots, thinly sliced
• 5 celery stalks, thinly sliced
• 1 14.4-ounce package frozen pearl onions
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup milk
• 1 cup chicken broth
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 cups cooked chopped chicken
• Four to six cooked biscuits

In a 5 quart Dutch oven or large heavy pot, heat butter over medium high heat. Add carrots, celery, and onions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender, about 7-10 minutes. Sprinkle vegetables with flour, stir in milk, broth, and thyme. Cook until liquid is thickened, stirring occasionally about 2-3 minutes. Add chicken; simmer until cooked through about 3-5 minutes. Serve chicken stew over a hot biscuit split in half.

Note: Use your favorite biscuits whether frozen or a recipe made from scratch. While the biscuits bake, prepare the chicken stew. If the stew is too thick, thin it out with a little water or chicken broth.
