Lighter Chicken and Biscuits (Oamc)
- 2 14 cups Bisquick
- 23 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus 1 or 2 additional tablespoons if needed
- 12 cup low-fat milk
- 12 cup water
- 7 12 ounces chicken broth
- 5 carrots, sliced diagonally about 1/4-inch thick (about 1 cup)
- 5 stalks celery, sliced diagonally about 1/4-inch thick (about 1 cup)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 12 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces
- Biscuits:.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- In a large bowl, combine baking mix and milk with a fork or your fingers.
- Mix until combined.
- Knead 10 times until dough becomes smooth.
- It will still be sticky.
- Do not overknead as this will make the biscuit tough.
- Turn dough out onto a board or counter dusted with more baking mix (I use a sheet of waxed paper or parchment taped to the counter for easy cleanup) and gently roll dough out to 1/2" thick.
- Cut with a 3" round cookie cutter dipped in baking mix.
- Gather and gently reroll scraps.
- Put into a greased pyrex or ceramic casserole pan or a baking sheet lined with a silicone sheet (silpat) or parchment.
- Biscuits can touch and can be pulled apart after baking.
- Brush tops generously with butter, allowing some to drip in between.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown.
- Chicken:.
- In a large heavy pot, heat oil over medium high heat, add onions, celery, and carrots.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are translucent, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle 2 tbs of flour on vegetables.
- Stir in milk, water, and half of the chicken broth, and thyme.
- Simmer until liquid has thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Add more chicken broth and rest of flour to your preference.
- Add chicken, Simmer until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Serve piping hot over fresh biscuits.
- Note: If you have never used thyme, I encourage you to try it in this dish.
- It has a light and fresh flavor that enhances the flavor and gives the chicken a homestyle chicken soup flavor.
- If you have fresh, use two to three sprigs.
- If you don't have thyme, dry parsley will work nicely too.
- I would not substitute rosemary because it is too strong.
- OAMC: double chicken recipe.
- Freeze biscuits covered on a cookie sheet, then wrap individually and pack in resealable bags.
- When reheating the chicken, add a bit of chicken broth if it is too thick.
