Add the vegetable stock and whisk vigorously making sure to not leave any clumps and mixture is nice and smooth. Add the chicken stock and whisk vigorously again. Let the mixture begin to bubble then begin to whisk constantly again, making sure the mixture is smooth. Add the water mixed with cornstarch, and whisk well to combine. Add the thyme, onion powder, sage, parsley, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Turn heat down to medium and let it simmer and thicken for about 20-30 minutes. Add your shredded chicken, peas and carrots and stir to combine. Put your biscuit mixture together and pop them in the oven while the chicken gravy mixture is warming through. When your biscuits are ready, split them in half and place on your plate and top with your chicken gravy mixture. Serve with cranberry sauce & enjoy!
