November - Chicken and Biscuits

We also call this Chicken Pot Pie Inside Out.  I make up the filling that would go into a chicken pot pie, but pour it over baking powder biscuits instead.  The sauce recipe is for 16 servings.

Sauce:

3/4 cup margarine
1 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
6 cups chicken broth
2 1/2 cups milk
2 cans corn
2 cans green beans
3 cans chicken (12.5 oz size)

Melt butter in large pot, add flour, salt, and pepper and whisk together.   Add broth and milk, whisking constantly.  Let heat on medium until bubbly.  Add corn, beans, and chicken, cook until broth has turned bubbly again (maybe about 10 minutes). 


From Frozen:
Thaw in fridge overnight, then reheat on stove for about 15-20 minutes until bubbly.

Biscuits:

These are Kentucky biscuits from the KFC website-I did change it below to use less milk, don't know if it's altitude or my brand of flour that makes it so sticky with the recipe amount.  Makes 8 large biscuits

3 cups flour
2 TBSP sugar
2 TBSP baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup shortening
1 cup milk

Mix first 4 dry ingredients, cut in shortening, then add milk.  Should be a soft, smooth dough, if not add more flour so it's not too sticky.  Roll out and cut into circles.  Preheat oven to 425, cook for 11-13 minutes.

From Frozen:
Thaw in fridge overnight, about an hour before cooking place on cookie sheet on the counter to bring to room temperature.  Bake at 425 for 11-13 minutes.

Serving

When sauce and biscuits are done, cut biscuits in half onto plate, pour sauce over each half.
