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

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

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!

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

Ingredients

Chicken Gravy

  • 3 tablespoons butter divided
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup diced carrot
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 2 oz jar pimientos, drained
  • 1 lb shredded cooked chicken (can also be diced)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided

Biscuits

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • flour for rolling
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 2-quart casserole dish; set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add in the onion, carrot and celery and cook until the vegetables are starting to soften. Remove from skillet to a bowl.
  • In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for a minute or two. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and the milk. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook until thickened.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream, pimientos, chicken, and cooked vegetables. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and baking soda. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter. Stir in the buttermilk. The mixture will be very sticky. Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, make 9 balls out of the mixture, dropping each into the flour and coating the outside.
  • When the chicken gravy is done cooking, remove it from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 450F. Drop the biscuits on top. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the melted butter, then sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  • Return to the oven and cook until the biscuits are cooked through, 15-20 minutes.

    It was 81 degrees here yesterday and I complained and whined that I was hot all day (I’m a joy to live with), but this morning I woke up complaining that I was cold. It’s in the lower 40s now. Ugh. Spring is cray-cray.

    Now, this creamy chicken dinner would totally make me forget all of my weather woes!

    Hahaha, Beach Body ready. What’s that? I can’t even remember what it felt like to strut it on the beach, lol! Our weather here is just as ridiculous. We had a windstorm the other night and one of our neighbors trees snapped and fell into our yard…the yard I had just raked of all the remaining leaves 2 days earlier. I wanted to scream! So this recipe looks very comforting and doesn’t make me want to scream at all!

    Oh wow, that looks like the absolute best kind of comfort food Deb! I can’t resist a good biscuit 🙂 We had one of these 70-degree flip flop days yesterday but it’s back to the 40’s tomorrow unfortunately.
