Ingredients
  

For the Gravy
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter Provides richness and flavor; substitute with oil for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 medium onion Adds depth and sweetness; can use shallots as a milder alternative.
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour Thickens the gravy; gluten-free all-purpose flour can be used as a substitute.
  • salt and pepper Enhances flavor; adjust to personal taste.
  • 2 cups chicken stock Forms the base of the gravy; vegetable broth can be used for a vegetarian version.
  • 1 cup half-and-half Adds creaminess and richness; whole milk or heavy cream can be substituted.
  • 1 teaspoon dried tarragon Provides a unique flavor that complements chicken; replace with dried dill or oregano if needed.
  • 1 cup peas Adds color and texture; fresh or frozen peas work well.
For the Dish
  • 2 cups cooked chicken Main protein source; leftover rotisserie chicken can save prep time.
  • 1 batch country biscuits Serves as the base; store-bought biscuits can make this even easier.

Equipment

  • Deep skillet

Method
 

Directions
  1. In a deep skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add one diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and slightly caramelized, about 3–5 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour into the skillet, stirring continuously to create a smooth roux. Add salt and pepper to taste, mixing well for about 1–2 minutes.
  3. Pour in 2 cups of chicken stock while whisking vigorously to combine. Gradually add 1 cup of half-and-half, stirring frequently as the heat increases.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon of dried tarragon, 1 cup of frozen peas, and 2 cups of diced cooked chicken, mixing well to combine.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat and prepare your fluffy country biscuits. Ladle the rich creamed chicken over the warm biscuits.
