Chicken and Biscuits – Comforting and creamy, a chicken gravy is covered by tender biscuits and cooked until warm and bubbly.

PIN IT FOR LATER!

If you love a good comforting chicken dish, also try my Chicken Pot Pie or Chicken a la King.

All I can say is, do yourself a favor and make it. I know it looks ordinary. Simple. But it is oh, so good. In fact, it was one of those meals that I really wanted to pat myself on the shoulder after making it, because it was that good.

The gravy is comforting and hot, and the biscuits are light and fluffy and tender. And the whole thing leaves you wanting to keep going back for another bite.

All winter long you’ll probably find me tucked inside with a big bowl of this Chicken and Biscuits!!

Ingredients

The gravy is similar to a chicken pot pie filling. For it, you will need:

Butter
Onion, Carrots, & Celery
Flour
Chicken Broth and Milk
Sour Cream
Pimientos
Cooked Chicken
Cheddar Cheese

For the biscuits, you will need:

Flour
Baking Powder
Sugar
Salt
Baking Soda
Butter
Buttermilk

Tips and Tricks

A word on the biscuits – these are my all-time favorite biscuit. But they are different, and you may find yourself questioning me when you make them. They are not traditional at all. The “dough” is extremely sticky – you wouldn’t be able to pick it up with your hands and roll it into a ball. I find that it’s easiest to use a spring loaded ice cream scoop, but you can also use 2 spoons. You get the dough and then roll it into flour, then they are baked on top of a creamy chicken gravy.

I use a shallow 2 quart baking dish. My dish is similar in size to this 2 quart dish. A 9-inch square baking dish should work as long as it is deep enough.

Leftovers should be refrigerated. The biscuits will get a bit soggy, but it’s still delicious!
