  5. Stir in cooked chicken and peas. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
  6. For biscuits: Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, and salt. Cut in cold cubed butter until crumbly. Stir in cheese.
  7. Add buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Drop large scoops of dough onto the chicken filling in the skillet.
  9. Bake 18-22 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and filling is bubbling.
