# Directions:
01 - Set the oven to 400°F and prepare for baking.
02 - In a large ovenproof skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery; cook 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 pour in chicken broth and whole milk while stirring to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 4 to 5 minutes.
06 - Fold in shredded cooked chicken and frozen peas. Remove from heat.
07 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.
08 - Using a pastry cutter or fingertips, incorporate cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
09 - Stir in grated sharp cheddar cheese then gently mix in cold buttermilk until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
10 - Drop heaping spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the chicken and vegetable mixture in the skillet.
11 - Place in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through and filling is bubbling.
12 - Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
