# Method:
01 - Set oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
02 - In a large ovenproof skillet or baking dish, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery; sauté for 5 to 6 minutes until softened.
03 - Stir in minced garlic, dried thyme, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
04 - Sprinkle all-purpose flour over the mixture and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to form a roux.
05 - Gradually whisk in chicken broth and whole milk, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until sauce slightly thickens, approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
06 - Add shredded chicken and frozen peas to the sauce; mix thoroughly and remove from heat.
07 - In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper for the biscuit topping.
08 - Incorporate cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
09 - Stir in grated cheddar cheese, then pour in cold buttermilk. Mix gently just until combined, avoiding overmixing.
10 - Drop heaping spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the chicken filling in the skillet or dish.
11 - Place in preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until biscuits are golden and cooked through and filling is bubbling.
12 - Allow casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving to set flavors.
