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.
