Method
 

Biscuit Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and fine sea salt. Using a pastry cutter, cut cold unsalted butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk until just combined. Shape the dough into a rectangle, fold it over itself several times, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to chill.
Cooking Potatoes
  1. While the dough chills, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add quartered mini Yukon potatoes and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and set them aside, allowing them to cool slightly as you prepare the filling.
Sautéing Vegetables
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil along with a tablespoon of unsalted butter. Once the butter has melted, toss in diced yellow onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and fragrant.
Making Sauce
  1. Sprinkle all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables to form a roux, stirring constantly for about 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in chicken stock and heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Combining Filling
  1. Remove the skillet from heat, and fold in the cooked chicken or turkey, tender potatoes, frozen peas, and chopped fresh parsley into the creamy sauce. Transfer this hearty filling into a large baking dish or an oven-safe skillet.
Baking Biscuits
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Remove the chilled biscuit dough from the refrigerator and turn it out onto a floured surface. Pat it to about 1-inch thickness, then cut into circles using a biscuit cutter. Place the biscuit rounds evenly over the pot pie filling and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
