Chick-n-Caboodle
- 6 Tablespoons Butter
- 1- 1/2 bunch Scallions (white And Light Green Parts), Finely Chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1/4 cups Flour
- 5- 1/2 cups Reduced-fat Milk
- 2 Tablespoons (or 6 Cubes) Chicken-flavored Bouillon
- Pepper To Taste
- 1 Tablespoon Oil
- 2 whole Medium Red Potatoes, Peeled And Cut Into A Small Dice
- 1/2 cups Frozen Peas And Carrots (or More To Taste)
- 1 can (16.3 Oz. Can) Refrigerated Biscuit Dough (reduced-fat Works Great)
- 1 cup Cooked Chicken, Cut Into Small Pieces (I Use Leftover Roasted Chicken)
- Preheat oven to 325F.
- In a dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the scallions and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until they are soft.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer.
- Toss in the flour and cook for a couple of minutes, whisking often.
- Slowly pour in the milk while continuously whisking.
- Add the bouillon and pepper and stir.
- Bring the soup to a simmer, whisking every couple of minutes.
- While you are cooking the scallions, heat a skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon oil.
- Add the potatoes and a little salt and pepper.
- Cook for about 3 minutes, then add the peas and carrots.
- Cook for another 3 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat while you wait for the soup to come to a simmer.
- When the soup begins simmering, add the potato mixture, stir, and cover the pot.
- Allow it to lightly simmer for about 7 to 10 minutes, stirring once or twice during cooking.
- Meanwhile, spray a dinner plate with cooking spray.
- Open the can of biscuits and pinch off 1/2 pieces of dough and arrange them in a single layer on the plate.
- After the soup has been simmering for about 7 to 10 minutes, add the chicken and stir.
- Next, quickly add the pinched-off dough to the pot in an even layer.
- Stir occasionally while you are adding the dough.
- Stir one additional time before covering the pot with a heavy lid.
- Place the pot in the oven and bake for 45 minutes.
- Stir before serving.
- Note: because I normally use low-fat milk in this recipe, it has a tendency to curdle somewhat when it gets hot.
- This does not affect the flavor, but some people may consider it visually unappealing.
- If you want to reduce the chance of curdling the milk, you can use either evaporated milk or heavy cream instead of reduced-fat milk.
