Step 6

Stir in the chicken broth.

Step 7

Add the peas and carrots and the thyme.

Add a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 9

Microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until bubbling and thickened, about 1 1/2 minutes.

Stir in the chicken.

Step 11

Flatten out the biscuit.

Step 12

Cover the top of the mug, pressing the biscuit around the rim to seal it.

Step 13

Cut a little vent into the top of the dough.

Step 14

Brush it with a little more half-and-half.

Step 15

Microwave in 30-second intervals until the biscuit is bubbling and just cooked through, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
