1/2 c. chopped celery
1/2 c. chopped baby carrots
1/2 c. all-purpose flour
2 t. white sugar

2 c. buttermilk baking mix
2 t. dried basil
2/3 c. milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the garlic, onion, celery, and carrots in butter until tender. Mix in flour, sugar, salt, 1 teaspoon dried basil, and pepper. Stir in broth/stock; bring to a boil. Stirring constantly, boil 1 minute, reduce heat, and stir in peas. Simmer 5 minutes; mix in chicken.
Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish.
Combine the baking mix and 2 teaspoons dried basil in a medium bowl. Stir in milk to form a dough. Divide dough into 6 - 8 balls. On floured waxed paper, use the palm of your hand to flatten each ball of dough into a circular shape; place on top of chicken mixture.
Bake 30 minutes. Cover with foil, and bake for 10 more minutes.
When serving, spoon chicken mixture over biscuits.
