- One-fourth of a teaspoon of salt
- One-fourth of a teaspoon of baking soda
- A quarter of a cup of heavy cream six tablespoons of chilled, unsalted cubed butter
Instructions:
- To begin, preheat the oven to a temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- In a large skillet, bring the olive oil to a temperature of medium heating. Add celery, carrots, and onion to the oil and cook for five minutes.
- Then add garlic, and continue to cook for an additional minute.
- Stir the chicken with salt, rosemary, thyme, and pepper and cook it until it is browned on all sides.
- Bring the chicken broth to a boil after adding it to the pot. On low heat, cook the chicken for fifteen minutes, or until it reaches the desired level of doneness.
- Take the peas and parsley and stir them.
- In order to make the gravy, use a pot and melt the butter over medium heat. Once the almond flour has been whisked in, continue cooking for one minute.
- Blend in the heavy cream and chicken broth in a slow and steady manner. While whisking frequently, bring to a simmer and continue cooking for five minutes, or until the mixture has thickened.
- Stir the salt, pepper, thyme, and Parmesan cheese before serving.
- To prepare the biscuits, put the baking soda, salt, parmesan cheese, and almond flour into a mixing bowl. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
- Incorporate the chilled butter into the dough by cutting it in with a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- After adding the heavy cream, whisk the mixture until a dough is formed.
- First, divide the dough into four equal pieces, and then roll it out into flat circles.
- Place the chicken mixture in a baking dish and set it in the oven. Put the biscuits on top, making sure they are evenly spaced.
- To ensure that the filling is bubbling and the biscuits are golden brown, bake them for twenty to twenty-five minutes.
