Description: 

Hot chicken gravy with mixed vegetables, served over fresh homemade drop biscuits

Yield: 

6 servings

Ingredients: 

Biscuit Ingredients:

2 c flour
1 T baking powder
1/2 t salt
1/3 c shortening
1 c milk*

Chicken Gravy Ingredients:

2 c chicken, cooked and cubed
2 c mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and corn)
3-4 c chicken broth
2 T minced onions
1 clove minced garlic (or use garlic salt)
1/4 t parsley
seasoned salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 c flour
1/2 c cold milk

Instructions: 

Chicken Gravy Directions:

1. If chicken is raw, cut into bite-sized pieces and cook in a skillet with a little oil and some garlic, pepper, parsley, and seasoned salt. If chicken is already cooked, cut into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle with some garlic, seasoned salt, parsley, and pepper.

2. Cut carrots into small chunks and cook with some of the broth in a large stock pot until tender; add onions, peas and corn and cook 10 minutes more.

3. Add chicken pieces and broth. Bring to a boil and cook for 5-10 minutes.

4. In small bowl, whisk together the flour and milk, removing lumps. Slowly pour into boiling mixture, stirring constantly. Boil for several minutes, until thickened into gravy.

5. Serve over hot fresh biscuits.

Biscuit Directions:

1. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in shortening.

2. Add milk, stirring just until moistened.

3. Drop biscuits onto ungreased baking sheets and bake at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until golden.

Additional Notes: 

This gravy can also be served over rice or pasta, if desired.

*If you would like to roll out your biscuits and cut into shape, reduce the amount of milk to 3/4 c rather than 1 c.

Tammy's mom created this recipe after being served a similar meal in the hospital after having one of her children. Bet you've never heard of hospital food being so good that you want to make it at home! ;)

Preparation Time: 

45 minutes

Cooking Time: 

30 minutes (gravy); 10-12 minutes (biscuits)

Tammy's Review: 

My rating: 10/10. This is a simple yet delicious meal. I make it when I have leftover chicken to use up. It's good enough to serve to guests, but easy enough to make for lunch. The vegetables add a nice color and help round out the meal. The biscuits call for shortening, but I use butter instead.

Wonderful Recipe!

I jumped on here last night to double check the biscuit ingredients, and noticed that I hadn't reviewed this. I thought I had already had. I made this first probably about a year ago, and now I make it a lot. I use the biscuit recipe pretty frequently for quick biscuits that I don't have to roll out and cut and make a mess on the counter! ;o)

Great!!!

At first by looking at the picture, we weren't sure but we made it and it was GREAT! the biscuits were so simple yet delicious. We also found out the left over gravy makes great pot pie filling. Thank you Tammy! : )

So Good!!

I was nervous about making real biscuits. Here at home they either come frozen or in a can!! But I did it!! They were so easy to do also. I will try to roll them out next time. The gravy is similar to a chicken pot pie filling. I did saute a whole onion and half of a bunch of celery to add to the gravy. I did not use corn, but added one cup of cubed white potato. All else was the same. It gets so nice and thick. Please let your mom know she created a satisfying & tasty meal! DeDe

10/10 A favorite!

This is not only one of my favorite recipes, but a great way to use up leftover chicken! The biscuits are so easy to make, and we like the leftover ones with honey on them!
