Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
-
Step 2.
In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter. Add the chopped potatoes, onion, leek, carrots, celery, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Stir to coat the vegetables with the butter and sauté until the onion is translucent and the vegetables begin to soften, 6 to 7 minutes.
-
Step 3.
Sprinkle 1 cup all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook, stirring constantly, until no visible flour remains, about 1 minute.
-
Step 4.
Pour in 1 quart (4 cups) chicken stock and the dissolved bouillon water (3 cups boiling water with 2 bouillon cubes). Add 3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme and stir until the filling starts to thicken, about 5 minutes.
-
Step 5.
Turn off the heat. Stir in the frozen peas, ½ cup heavy cream, ¼ cup chopped parsley, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest. Add the shredded chicken from the Simple Roast Chicken and stir to combine.
-
Step 6.
Arrange the unbaked biscuits on top of the filling. Brush the biscuits with 4 tablespoons melted butter.
-
Step 7.
Bake until the biscuits are golden brown and the potpie is bubbling, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
