Time 57m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups chicken broth
1 cup half-and-half
⅓ cup butter
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup peeled and chopped carrots
1 cup chopped celery
½ cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
4 cups cooked, diced or shredded chicken
½ cup frozen peas (not thawed)
2 cups Bisquick
⅔-¾ cup cold buttermilk (or sub with regular milk)
½ cup grated cheddar cheese
¼ teaspoon dried parsley
2 tablespoons butter, melted
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 2 ½ - 3-quart casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together chicken broth and half-and-half. Set aside.

  • Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring regularly, until thick and bubbly (about 5-6 minutes). Make sure that the mixture doesn't boil. Stir in the salt and pepper. Add chicken and frozen peas.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for about 10 minutes while you prepare the biscuit dough.

My recipe for some of the best fried chicken you can make... and eat, prepared with my Recipe #506948.

Time P1DT1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 quarts cold water
2 tablespoons fine sea salt
2 teaspoons Accent seasoning
10 -12 fresh cut-up skin-on chicken pieces
1/3 cup seasoning (Savory Southern Fried Seasoning)
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
4 large beaten eggs
peanut oil

Steps:

  • NOTE: YOU CAN SINGLE-BREAD OR DOUBLE-BREAD CHICKEN WITH THIS RECIPE (SEE STEP 6).
  • WHISK 2 quarts cold water (8 cups) with 2 tablespoons fine sea salt and 2 teaspoons Accent seasoning in a large wide saucepan (with an accompanying lid) until dissolved, for the BRINE.
  • RINSE and blot chicken pieces; ADD chicken pieces to marinade; COVER and transfer to refrigerator; MARINATE chicken at least 4 hours in refrigerator (preferably overnight), turning chicken as needed.
  • INTO a large Ziploc bag, add the BREADING ingredients; BREAK up any clumps if present, by hand or using the back of a spoon; SEAL bag containing mixture; SHAKE well until combined.
  • BEAT 4 eggs in a large bowl, for the EGGWASH; REMOVE chicken from brine with tongs; BLOT pieces with paper towels.
  • TO SINGLE-BREAD CHICKEN: Dip one piece breaded chicken using tongs, into the eggwash to wet completely. Drop chicken into the breading. Roll chicken well in the breading to coat. Place breaded chicken onto platter to rest for 15-20 minutes. Repeat with remaining pieces. TO DOUBLE-BREAD CHICKEN: Add 5 teaspoons flour plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch to breading and mix well. Drop chicken into the breading and roll it well in the breading to coat. Drop chicken into the eggwash to wet completely. Quickly return chicken to the breading and roll again to coat well.

  • FRY chicken between 16-20 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked, depending on chicken portions/sizes (juices should run clear when chicken is done).

SAVORY CHICKEN & BISCUITS

Make and share this Savory Chicken & Biscuits recipe from Food.com.

Provided by RecipeNut

Categories     Chicken

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 cups) or 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup thinly sliced carrot
1 cup thinly sliced celery
1 envelope Lipton Recipe Secrets savory herb with garlic soup mix
1 cup milk
1 package refrigerated buttermilk biscuit (10 ounces)

Steps:

  • Also terrific with LIPTON* RECIPE SECRETS® Golden Onion Soup Mix.
  • Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
  • In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat and cook chicken, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until almost done.
  • Stir in onion, carrots and celery; cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes.
  • Stir in savory herb with garlic soup mix blended with milk.
  • Bring to the boiling point over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally; cook 1 minute.
  • Turn into lightly greased 2-quart casserole; arrange biscuits on top of chicken mixture with edges touching.
  • Bake 10 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your dish. Look for high-quality chicken, buttermilk, and spices.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in buttermilk and spices will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help to create a crispy, golden crust on your chicken. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a large skillet with a heavy bottom.
  • Fry the chicken in small batches: Don't overcrowd the skillet when frying the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through: The chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken.
  • Make the biscuits ahead of time: The biscuits can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven before serving. This will save you time on the day of your meal.
  • Serve the chicken and biscuits with your favorite sides: Classic sides for chicken and biscuits include mashed potatoes, green beans, and coleslaw. You can also serve the chicken and biscuits with a gravy made from the pan drippings.

Conclusion:

Southern chicken and biscuits is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make the best chicken and biscuits you've ever tasted. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
