Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

- Stir in the frozen peas and cooked chicken (dividing among the two dishes if necessary).
- To prepare the gravy, melt the 1/4 c. butter in a saucepan over low heat.
- Season with salt and pepper and whisk in the 1/4 c. flour and continue to whisk for a couple of minutes.
- Add in the stock and milk and bring to a simmer.
- Continue to simmer the gravy until it begins to thicken up a little.
