Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Season 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons unsalted butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned but not fully cooked.
- Step 2: Remove chicken and set aside. Lower heat to medium and add 1 clove minced garlic, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
- Step 3: Gradually whisk in 2 cups chicken broth and 1/2 cup milk, cooking until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves.
- Step 4: Return chicken to the skillet, nestle 10 refrigerated biscuit dough pieces on top of the sauce evenly. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until biscuits are golden and cooked through.
