Ingredients

For the base

  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 3 carrots (diced)
  • 3 celery stalks (diced)
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 1 cup mushrooms (chopped)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 Tbsp fresh sage (minced)
  • 1 Tbsp fresh rosemary (minced)
  • 1 Tbsp fresh thyme (minced)
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup unsweetened dairy-free milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup arrowroot starch
  • cup cold water
  • 4 cups chopped cooked chicken
  • 1 cup frozen peas

For the biscuits

  • 3 cups almond flour
  • ½ cup arrowroot starch
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • ¾ tsp sea salt
  • ¾ cup melted vegan butter (see notes)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened dairy-free milk
  • 2 large eggs (whisked)

Instructions

To prepare the base layer:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Heat the avocado oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Mix in mushrooms, garlic, sage, rosemary, and thyme. Cook for an additional 3 minutes.
  • Gradually add milk and broth, stirring continuously. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, then immediately reduce to medium.
  • In a small bowl, whip up a slurry by blending the arrowroot starch with cold water. Make sure it's smooth and clump-free. Then, pour this into your veggie mix and give it a good stir. Keep stirring for about 3 to 5 minutes until it thickens up nicely.
  • Stir in the cooked chicken and peas. Transfer the mixture to a 13"x 9" baking dish.

To prepare the biscuits:

  • In a large bowl, combine almond flour, arrowroot starch, baking powder, and salt.
  • Make a well in the center and add the melted vegan butter, dairy-free milk, and eggs. Mix until a thick batter forms.
  • Let the biscuit dough chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
  • After chilling, form the dough into slightly larger balls (about 5-6 Tbsp of batter each) and flatten them slightly with your hands. Wet your hands if the dough is too sticky.
  • Place the flattened biscuits evenly on top of the chicken mixture.
