Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat an 8x10 or similar 2 1/2-quart casserole dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Heat a large dutch oven or similar deep, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the pan. Once hot but not smoking, add the mushrooms and cook for 8 minutes, until the mushrooms are beginning to brown, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms have browned more deeply, about 3 additional minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the top of the mushrooms. Drizzle in the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil. Stir and cook until any white bits of flour disappear and the flour looks light golden, about 1 to 2 minutes. The mixture will seem dry. Slowly pour in the milk. Switch to a whisk and stir constantly. Bring to a low, gentle boil, continuing to whisk and scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Continue to let bubble until thickened and reduced by about half, about 7 minutes, whisking very often. Turn off the heat. Stir in the chicken, frozen vegetables, and thyme. Taste and add additional salt and pepper as desired. Spoon the chicken mixture into the prepared dish.
- Drop the biscuit dough by rounded spoonfuls over the top, dispersing the biscuits evenly over the surface. Some of the filling will peek through.
- Bake until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool a few minutes. Serve hot.

FRIED CHICKEN BISCUITS WITH HOT HONEY BUTTER
This recipe for chicken biscuits could be a weeknight dinner with a side of greens, but it's made to travel, and perfectly suited for a picnic. The biscuit dough, adapted from Sam Sifton's all-purpose biscuit recipe, is lightly kneaded here, so it's not too tender to work in a sandwich. The chicken tenders, inspired by Masaharu Morimoto's katsu in the cookbook "Mastering the Art of Japanese Home Cooking," are pounded and coated in panko for plenty of crunch. Prepare both components the day you want to eat them, giving yourself at least one extra hour for everything to cool before you assemble, so the sandwich stays crisp. You can also cook well in advance, and assemble the sandwiches the next day. Either way, cooling the chicken completely, on a wire rack, is crucial. If you prefer breast meat over thigh, feel free to swap it in.

Steps:
- Prepare the biscuits: In a bowl, use a fork to mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add butter and use the fork to mash it into the flour until the mixture resembles large, lumpy crumbs. Stir in milk until a dough comes together.
- Flour your hands, then gently gather and knead the dough in the bowl for 2 to 3 minutes, or until it springs back slightly to the touch. (If the dough is sticky, sprinkle additional flour as needed.) Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap and rest dough in fridge for half hour.
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough to 1 to 1 1/2 inch thickness. Use a floured knife or round cutter to cut 6 biscuits, about 3 1/2 inches wide. Reroll the scraps and cut again as needed.
- Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they have puffed up and the tops are slightly golden. Let cool completely on a wired rack at room temperature. Transfer to an airtight container if not using until the next day.
- Prepare the chicken: Trim excess fat and any membranes from the meat, then lightly hammer the thickest parts of the thighs with a mallet or rolling pin. Season each side with salt.
- Mix flour, cayenne and salt in one wide bowl. Beat eggs in a second wide bowl, and place panko in a third. Dip each chicken thigh in flour, coating it all over and patting off the excess, then in egg, allowing extra egg to drip off, then in panko, making sure each thigh is entirely coated in bread crumbs, and using your hands to press loose crumbs into any places where they look scarce.
- In a large, heavy bottomed skillet, pour in oil to a 2-inch depth and heat to 350 degrees. Fry 2 thighs at a time, flipping them over every two minutes or so, until golden brown and crisp all over, about 8 minutes total. Transfer to a wire rack set over a paper towel-lined sheet pan and season lightly with salt. Let cool entirely at room temperature, at least 1 hour. At this point, you can assemble the sandwiches or transfer the rack to the fridge and leave the chicken uncovered overnight.
- Assemble the sandwiches: When both the chicken and biscuits have cooled (or the next day), mix together soft butter, honey and hot sauce until smooth. Cut open cooled biscuits, smear each cut side with honey butter, and sandwich with a piece of chicken. If traveling, loosely wrap each sandwich in a piece of parchment paper and pack side by side in a hard container, in a single layer, so the sandwiches aren't crushed. Serve with additional hot sauce and pickles on the side.

CHICKEN BISCUITS
Steps:
- For the biscuits: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Mix flours, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a bowl. Add cubed butter and toss. Pulse mixture in food processor until butter is pea-sized. Put this in a large bowl and add buttermilk. Mix with hands until dough comes together but still has shaggy bits, then dump onto a floured table.
- Work with the heel of your hand pushing the dough into the table away from you and roll it back onto itself. Continue heeling and rolling until dough is smooth, but do not overmix. (Pieces of butter should still be visible.)
- Use a rolling pin to roll the dough until it's about 1 1/2 inches thick.
- Flour a round biscuit cutter and cut the biscuits. Flip the biscuits and place on a sheet pan.
- Beat together the egg and heavy cream in a small bowl. Brush biscuits with egg wash.
- Bake 22 minutes.
- For the fried chicken cutlets: Combine buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, cayenne and black pepper in a resealable plastic bag; add chicken. Seal bag, turn to coat, and chill 1 to 3 hours.
- Pour oil into a large skillet to a depth of 1/2-inch and heat over medium-high heat until oil bubbles immediately when a sprinkle of breadcrumbs is added. (Oil should be at 325 degrees F.)
- Meanwhile, place breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl. Remove chicken from marinade. Dredge chicken in breadcrumbs, shaking off excess. Working in 2 batches and maintaining oil temperature, fry chicken until golden brown, crisp, and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
- For the honey butter and sandwich assembly: Whisk together the butter and honey in a bowl.
- Split a biscuit and slather both halves with honey butter. Place a fried cutlet on bottom half and pour a generous amount of hot sauce over. Top with other biscuit half. Repeat with the remaining chicken cutlets. Save remaining biscuits for another use.
DIFFERENT CHICKEN AND BISCUITS
This recipe is from the Sept. 16, 2008 edition of the "Living" section of our local newspaper, "The Democrat & Chronicle" and (adapted from the 1956 edition of the "Betty Crocker" cookbook). This chicken and biscuits recipe is different in that the chicken is baked and topped with peach halves and served with biscuits and gravy on the side. It is not the familiar version of chicken pulled off the bone in gravy, which is served over biscuits. I have not cooked this yet but decided to post this recipe for safe-keeping. It sounds like delicious, rich comfort food that could be enjoyed on a chilly day.

Tips for Making the Best Chicken and Biscuits:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Opt for fresh, free-range chicken and high-quality butter or shortening for the biscuits.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and buttermilk or yogurt enhances its flavor and tenderness.
- Cook the chicken properly: Ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Avoid overcooking, as this can make the chicken dry and tough.
- Make fluffy biscuits: Use cold butter or shortening and buttermilk or heavy cream for light and fluffy biscuits. Handle the dough gently to avoid overworking it.
- Serve immediately: Chicken and biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, gravy, or coleslaw.
