Ingredients

Biscuits:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

9 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled, cut into small pieces

1/4 cup plus 3 Tbsp. milk

Filling:

1/2 cup heavy cream

2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 shallot, finely chopped

1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed

3 cups shredded cooked boneless, skinless chicken (from a rotisserie bird)

1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

1. Make biscuits: Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Use a pastry cutter to cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse sand. Gently stir in all but 1 Tbsp. milk. Turn dough onto a lightly floured countertop, knead just to bring together; pat into a 1/2-inch-thick circle. Cut into 6 biscuits with a 3-inch cutter. Place on baking sheet, cover and chill.

2. Make filling: Whisk cream and cornstarch in a bowl. Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté shallot until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in broth, vegetables, chicken and salt; bring to a boil. Stir in cream mixture; cook, stirring, until thickened.

3. Transfer filling to an 11-by-7-inch baking dish; arrange biscuits on top. Brush biscuits with remaining 1 Tbsp. milk. Bake until biscuits are golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
