Step-by-step
- Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit.
- Grease a 9” round baking pan.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt butter in the skillet.
- When butter has melted and is no longer foaming, add the diced chicken to the pan.
- Cook chicken, stirring occasionally, until chicken begins to brown on all sides, but is not yet cooked throughout.
- Add onion and carrots to the skillet. Sprinkle mixture lightly with salt and pepper. Turn heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally until the onions begin to brown at the edges, but are not yet tender. Stir in garlic and dried thyme. Cook one minute, stirring constantly.
- Stir in vinegar, scraping up browned bits. When vinegar has almost completely evaporated, stir in broth.
- Turn heat to medium-high. Simmer broth, stirring occasionally until it thickens, about 15-20 minutes. The broth is thick enough when you can “draw” a line on the bottom of the pan with a spoon, and the line does not immediately fill in. While the filling simmers, prepare the biscuit topping.
- Once the broth has thickened, add heavy cream and peas. Bring mixture to a simmer. Turn heat to low. Simmer until mixture is thick and gravy-like. Taste before adding salt and pepper. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if necessary.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, ground flax seeds, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender. Mixture should appear mealy.
- In a small bowl, whisk the sour cream and the egg white together. Stir this mixture into the dry ingredients.
- Gather mixture into a ball and place on a piece of parchment paper or a counter dusted with almond flour.
- Using clean hands or a rolling pin dusted with almond flour, press or roll dough into a circle about 8 inches in diameter.
- Pour chicken filling into the prepared baking dish.
- Gently place biscuit dough over the chicken filling.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until biscuit topping has browned.
