Prep Time: 30 minutes | Cook Time: 40 minutes | Total Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes | Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced
3 carrots, peeled and diced
2 ribs celery, diced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 1/2 cups shredded chicken
1/2 cup frozen peas
Biscuit Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into cubes
3/4 cup buttermilk
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Lightly oil a 9×13 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray.
Directions
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda and salt. Add cold butter, using your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk and stir using a rubber spatula until a soft dough forms.
3. Working on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 10- by 7-inch rectangle, about 1-inch thick. Cut out 6-8 rounds using a 3-inch biscuit or cookie cutter. Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet; set aside in the refrigerator.
4. To make the filling, melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic, onion, carrots and celery, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, milk and thyme, and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in chicken and peas; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
5. Add chicken mixture to prepared baking dish. Place into oven and bake for 15 minutes. Top with prepared biscuits and bake until tops are golden brown, an additional 10-12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
This article from USA Today reports that egg and poultry groups criticized the Agriculture Department’s handling of the worst avian flu outbreak in U.S. history, with one Iowa turkey producer charging the response allowed the deadly virus to spread.
Citing miscommunication from the USDA, the article also discusses the effects that the outbreak is having among egg and poultry producers, stating, “The outbreak has been especially damaging in Iowa, the nation’s largest egg-producing state, with 40% of its egg-laying hens lost to the disease. The state has reported 75 cases of the virus — the most recent on June 17 — resulting in the death of 32 million birds.”

This isn’t a recipe, so much as it is a life changer! Try these tips from The Slow Roasted Italian on how to grill the perfect steak!
Serves 4-8 | Active Time 10 minutes | Total Time 35 minutes
4 (1 – 1 1/4″ thick) good ribeye steaks, about 1 pound each
Olive oil
Kosher salt
Fresh ground black pepper
Remove steaks from the refrigerator and place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil for about 15 minutes, covered with foil. Allowing the steaks to warm slightly will help them to cook more evenly. Preheat grill to high. Drizzle your steaks with olive oil and liberally sprinkle with salt and pepper. Flip steaks and repeat. This will give the steaks that flavorful crust that good steak houses are known for.
After your grill has preheated place steaks on the grill, diagonally to the grill grates ( \ ). Close the lid to the grill and allow steaks to cook. Dispose of the aluminum foil on your baking pan. Keep in mind – cook steaks 4-5 minutes per side for medium rare, 5-6 minutes per side for medium.
After 2 minutes, move steaks to an opposite diagonal ( / ), this will make those fabulous cross hatch grill marks. Close cover to grill and allow steaks to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Flip steaks over with tongs so they are on the grill diagonal to the grill grates. After 2 minutes move steaks to an opposite diagonal. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes for medium rare. Again use 2-3 minutes for each step if you are cooking medium rare, use 3 minutes per step if you are cooking medium.
Place steaks on baking sheet and loosely tent with aluminum foil. Allow steaks to rest for 5 minutes. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the steak delivering a more flavorful product!
Serve and enjoy!
