Gradually pour in halal chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and begins to simmer gently.

Fold in shredded halal chicken and frozen green peas, then remove the skillet from heat.
- 06
Mix buttermilk biscuit mix and buttermilk in a small bowl until a soft dough forms.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the biscuit tops are golden brown and fully baked.
A LITTLE KITCHEN KNOW-HOW

Baking soft biscuit dough directly on top of a hot stew to cook steam-raised tops.
Notes from the kitchen
- Use an oven-safe skillet like cast iron so you can transition directly from stovetop to oven.
- Do not overmix the biscuit dough to keep the cooked tops tender and airy.
- Original home-cooking adaptation inspired by American Southern; regional versions vary.
- Use halal-certified meat, poultry, stock, sauces, cheese and other processed ingredients. Check labels and avoid cross-contamination. Recipe screening is not halal certification.
