Chicken & Biscuits Bake
Poultry Classics
Prep time:
25 minutesBake time :
25 to 30 minutes“This time-honored family favorite won Grandma a blue ribbon at the local county fair.”
Ingredients
Serves 4
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken-breast halves (about 5 ounces each)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 teaspoon each dried thyme and paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can chicken broth, divided
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 (10-ounce) package frozen peas and carrots
- 1 (12-ounce) can refrigerated biscuits
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Cut chicken-breast halves into 1/2-inch pieces.
2
Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, onion, thyme, paprika and pepper.
3
Cook until chicken is browned, about 5 minutes. Combine 1/4 cup chicken broth with flour in small bowl; stir until smooth. Set aside.
4
Add remaining chicken broth to skillet; bring to a boil. Gradually add flour mixture, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Simmer 5 minutes.
5
Add peas and carrots; continue cooking 2 minutes. Transfer to 1 1/2-quart casserole; top with the biscuits.
6
Bake until biscuits are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove casserole from oven. Serve chicken with additional warm biscuits, if desired.
7
Variation: For faster cleanup, use an ovenproof skillet to cook the chicken in and omit the 1 1/2-quart casserole. Place biscuits directly on chicken-and-vegetable mixture and bake as directed.

Grandma's Secret Tip
Grandma's Secret Tip
Grandma knew how much we loved her biscuits, so she took extra care with them. She would brush them with milk or melted butter before she baked them. When the biscuits came out of the oven, they were extra soft.
