Steps

1. 1 Preheat oven to 375°F.

5. 5 Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken until golden brown on both sides. Brush with honey butter mixture.
6. 6 While chicken cooks, whisk flour into chicken broth to create a slurry. Stir in diced vegetables.
7. 7 Arrange chicken in a greased baking dish, pour broth mixture over, and top with biscuit dough.
8. 8 Bake for 30-35 minutes or until biscuits are golden and chicken is cooked through.
9. 9 Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
