- Stir in the broth. When it is hot, add the heavy cream and Italian seasoning and simmer, stirring, for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the sour cream and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until thickened. Fold in the cooked chicken and frozen vegetables.
- Pour the filling into the dish and drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the top. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, until the biscuits are golden and baked through. Let it cool a little before serving.
