1. Make the Filling
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat.
Add onion, celery; cook 5 minutes until soft. Add garlic; cook 1 minute.
Stir in flour; cook 1–2 minutes to remove raw taste.
Gradually whisk in broth and milk. Bring to a simmer; cook 3–5 minutes until thickened.
Stir in chicken, peas/carrots, thyme, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
2. Assemble the Casserole
Pour filling into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Arrange biscuits on top (cut in half for even coverage).
Brush with melted butter; sprinkle with optional seasonings.
3. Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake 25–30 minutes, until biscuits are deep golden and filling is bubbly.
Let rest 5–10 minutes before serving (sauce will thicken slightly).
