Making the Filling

- Sprinkle in flour, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper and cook for 1 minute while stirring.
- Add in the chicken stock and half and half, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until sauce thickens, stirring frequently. Once thickened stir in cooked chicken, frozen peas, and parsley.
For Biscuits
- In a medium bowl mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Using a cheese grater, grate butter into flour. Mix butter in with the flour until the butter is fully coated.
- Make a well in flour mixture and pour in the milk. Mix until just combined. DO NOT over mix. Roll dough out on a floured surface to 3/4 inches thick and cut into rounds.
Putting it all together
- Place biscuits on the hot chicken stew. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are fully cooked and browned on the top. Remove from the oven and brush biscuits with melted butter.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
