Making Ahead and Storage Tips

If you’re planning a big meal or simply want to save time, Chicken and Biscuits can be prepared in advance. The creamy chicken mixture can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to two days. Simply reheat it on the stove and add freshly made biscuits right before serving. This not only reduces your kitchen workload on the day of the event but also allows the flavors to meld beautifully, enhancing the overall taste.

For leftover Chicken and Biscuits, store the chicken mixture and biscuits separately in airtight containers. The chicken can last in the fridge for up to three days, while the biscuits are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to reheat everything, do so in the oven to retain the biscuits' flaky texture, making for a comforting meal all over again.

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken and Sauce

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, sauté until translucent. Stir in chicken, broth, cream, and mixed vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes.

Make the Biscuits

In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until just combined. Drop spoonfuls of dough on top of the chicken mixture.

Bake

Let the dish cool slightly before serving for the best flavor.

Nutritional Highlights

Chicken and Biscuits not only offers comforting flavors, but it also provides a well-rounded meal packed with nutrients. The chicken serves as a lean source of protein that supports muscle health and boosts your immune system. The addition of mixed vegetables brings vitamins, minerals, and fiber into the mix, making this dish more balanced and nutritious.

While this dish is indulgent, opting for low-fat cream or reducing the amount of butter in the biscuits can help lighten it up without sacrificing the comforting essence that Chicken and Biscuits embodies. Enjoy it guilt-free and feel good about providing a wholesome meal to your family!

Serving Suggestions

Pairing Chicken and Biscuits with a fresh garden salad can elevate your dinner experience. The crunch and acidity from the salad will complement the rich flavors of the chicken and biscuits beautifully. Consider dressing your salad with a light vinaigrette for an added zing that balances the creaminess of the main dish.

For an all-around delightful meal, you might also serve a side of seasoned steamed vegetables. Not only will they add an extra nutrient boost, but they will enhance the aesthetic appeal of your dinner plate, making it as visually delightful as it is delicious.
