Step-by-step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and add them to the hot skillet. Cook, stirring every so often, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken pieces to a plate.

Add the butter to the skillet and melt over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and red pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring often, until crisp tender.

Stir in the flour and whisk the mixture together, cooking over medium heat until the flour starts to turn golden, about 1-2 minutes.

Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, whisking vigorously to eliminate any lumps of flour on the vegetables. Continue adding the chicken broth and whisking and then do the same with the milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly, and cook until slightly thickened, 4-5 minutes.

Add the salt and pepper (plus more to taste, if needed) and stir in the frozen peas and cooked chicken. Immediately transfer the mixture to a 9X13-inch baking dish.

To make the biscuit mixture, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in the eggs, milk, and cheese, mixing just until evenly moistened. Scoop tablespoon-size portions of dough onto the top of the chicken/vegetable mixture.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. Serve immediately.

As a busy mom with a taste for nostalgic comfort food, I was thrilled to discover this updated version of a classic chicken bake. The original recipe held a special place in my childhood memories, but its reliance on processed ingredients left me craving a healthier alternative.

This revamped dish not only satisfies that craving but also elevates the flavor profile with a vibrant medley of vegetables and savory cheddar cheese. The tender chicken, combined with the crisp-tender vegetables and fluffy cheddar biscuits, creates a tantalizing symphony of textures and flavors. The absence of cream of chicken soup allows the natural ingredients to shine through, resulting in a wholesome and satisfying meal that nourishes both body and soul.
