Cooking Steps
  1. In a large pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and diced celery to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables soften, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Next, add the chicken pieces to the pot, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cook until they’re browned on the outside, around 8-10 minutes.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, and stir in the garlic powder and thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing flavors to meld together.
  6. Stir in the frozen peas. Open the can of biscuit dough and either cut each biscuit into quarters or leave them whole. Arrange them on top of the chicken mixture.
  7. Cover the pot with a lid, and let the biscuits steam in the simmering broth for an additional 10-15 minutes until they are puffed and cooked through.
  8. Once cooked, ladle generous portions into bowls and serve immediately.
