Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt the butter in a large deep skillet over medium heat until foamy and just beginning to brown, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and slightly soft.
  3. Sprinkle in the flour, stir well to combine, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Slowly pour in the chicken stock, whisking continuously to avoid lumps, and simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  5. Stir in the half-and-half, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce is creamy and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  6. Fold in the cooked chicken and peas, stirring gently, and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until heated through.
  7. Bake or warm your biscuits according to instructions, then serve the creamed chicken mixture generously over them.
