- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
H3: Step-by-Step Instructions
1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, and potatoes. Cook until the veggies are tender, about 10 minutes.
2. Add the chicken to the pot and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and cook for 1 minute.
4. Gradually stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer for 10-15 minutes.
5. While the soup is cooking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work it into the mixture until it forms a crumbly dough.
6. Drop the dough by spoonfuls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
7. To make the croutons, simply tear the baked biscuits into small pieces and toss with a little bit of butter and salt.
