Prep Time: 45 Minutes
Yields: 6 Servings

Ingredients:
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 (10-count) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
½ cup diced celery
¼ cup minced garlic
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
½ cup chicken stock
2 cups low-fat, fat-free or lactose-free milk
1 (16-ounce) bag frozen peas and carrots mixture

Method:
In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery and minced garlic then sauté 3–5 minutes or until vegetables are wilted. Add chicken and sauté until cooked through. Season with salt and black pepper. Add chicken stock, milk, peas and carrots and cream of celery soup. Mix ingredients until well combined and reduce heat to simmer.
