Ingredients

2 ½ cups chicken stock, or more as needed
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon salted butter
1 cup sliced carrots
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 (16 ounce) package white button mushrooms, sliced
¾ cup chopped yellow onion
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 pounds cooked potatoes, chopped
1 ½ cups fat-free half-and-half
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons shortening
1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 tablespoons fat-free half-and-half

Steps:

Bring 2 1/2 cups chicken stock to a boil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and boil until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate to cool. Shred meat with 2 forks. Reserve stock.
Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add carrots and celery; saute for 4 minutes. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic; cook for 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix flour and 2 teaspoons reserved stock in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in more stock until it's thin and lump-free; set aside.
Pour remaining stock in with mushroom mixture. Add potatoes and bring to a boil. Whisk in flour mixture and bring to a boil. Add half-and-half, peas, thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, and shredded chicken. Reduce heat to low and simmer while you prepare the biscuits, adding more stock if necessary.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Mix 2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in shortening with 2 knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs (this may take a while). Add yogurt and half-and-half and mix just until mixture comes together. Knead a few times, roll out to a 1-inch thickness, and cut with biscuit cutters. Repeat to reuse dough, adding more flour as needed.
Transfer stew into a 2-quart casserole dish and put biscuits on top.
Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are cooked and nicely browned on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
