How To Make Chicken And Biscuits?

1. Coat the Chicken: In a bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Toss the diced chicken in the flour mixture until fully coated.
2. Cook the Chicken: Spray a large skillet with non-stick spray. Cook the chicken over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the Carrots: Add butter and carrots to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until slightly softened.
4. Add Mushrooms and Seasonings: Stir in mushrooms, garlic salt, pepper, parsley, and dried chopped onion. Cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms soften.
5. Combine Everything: Add frozen peas and the cooked chicken back to the skillet. Sprinkle the gravy mix over everything and stir well.
6. Make the Gravy: Pour in the water while stirring constantly. Let it simmer for a few minutes until thickened.
7. Finish with Seasoning: Stir in onion powder, thyme, and marjoram. If using, add heavy cream for extra richness. Adjust seasoning to taste.
8. Serve: Enjoy with warm biscuits and mashed potatoes!

Recipe Tips:

• Coat the Chicken Evenly: Make sure every piece of chicken is fully coated in the flour mixture. This helps create a crispy texture and thickens the gravy later. Shake off any extra flour to avoid clumps.
• Cook the Chicken Until Golden Brown: Don’t rush this step! Let the chicken cook until it’s golden and crispy. This adds extra flavor and keeps the chicken juicy inside.
• Sauté the Vegetables Properly: Cook the carrots first since they take longer to soften. Add mushrooms later so they don’t become too mushy. This keeps all the veggies in the perfect texture.
• Stir the Gravy Constantly: When adding the gravy mix and water, stir constantly to prevent lumps. Let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens nicely.
• Add Cream at the End (Optional): If using heavy cream, add it last and stir well. This keeps the gravy smooth and prevents it from curdling.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the Chicken and Biscuits cool down first. Then, put them in a sealed container and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Heat the chicken and gravy in a pan over low heat, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water or cream if the gravy gets too thick. Warm the biscuits in a dry pan or oven.
