Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and lightly grease a 9x13" baking dish.
  • In a medium skillet, melt butter and add oil, carrots, potatoes, onion and celery. Cook, stirring often, over medium-high heat, until slightly softened, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic, salt, parsley, thyme and pepper and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, cover and simmer until vegetables are tender.
  • Whisk together cream and flour. Stir into filling with chicken and peas. Simmer over medium heat until gravy has thickened to your liking and vegetables are tender. This is a great time to taste test and adjust seasonings. Pour into prepared baking dish and prepare the topping.
