# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F.
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 flour over vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes to form a roux.
05 - Gradually whisk in chicken broth and whole milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until sauce slightly thickens, about 4 to 5 minutes.
06 - Stir shredded chicken and frozen peas into the sauce. Remove from heat.
07 - In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper for the biscuit topping.
08 - Incorporate cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
09 - Stir grated cheddar cheese into mixture, then add cold buttermilk, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
10 - Drop heaping spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over chicken filling in the skillet or baking dish.
11 - Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and filling is bubbling.
12 - Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
