  • 1 Tbaking powder
  • 1/4 tspground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tspkosher salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  2. Melt butter in the large ovenproof skillet over medium low heat. Add the onions, radishes, and celery. Season with salt and pepper and cook just until the veggies begin to soften - about five minutes.
  3. Sprinkle in the flour, and stir frequently, cooking the flour and veggies for two to three minutes. Slowly add in the chicken stock, whisking constantly, until you have a smooth paste. Then whisk in the milk and mustard.
  4. Bring to a simmer and season to taste. Add the potatoes and simmer for ten minutes. Fold in the spinach, shredded chicken, tarragon, and chives and cook just until the spinach has wilted down, about five minutes.
  5. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, grated cheese, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Pour melted butter into cold milk and stir with a fork. It will clump up, which is good. Add the milk/butter mixture to the flour. Mix everything together just until no dry flour remains.
  6. Dollop mounds of the biscuit dough on to the chicken mixture, spacing it out more or less evenly. It’s OK if you don’t cover the entire surface area of the chicken and veggies - the biscuits will expand as they bake. Transfer to your preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and the potatoes are tender.
