🥘Ingredients

For the Filling

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 cup frozen peas
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Topping

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1 minute.
5Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk while stirring. Continue to stir until the mixture thickens, about 3 to 4 minutes.
6Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the frozen peas, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together.
7If desired, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
8Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the filling is bubbly and the top is lightly golden.
9Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
