Chicken Gravy and Biscuits

My mother in law taught me how to cook one of my husband's favorite comfort foods. I had never eaten anything like this before in my life. Not that it's unusual, but I've lived a very sheltered life.

We are a family of 6, so I make a rather large amount. We 💙 leftovers. This can be halved or done in the crock pot (with the thickening done at the end). It's also a versatile dish because you can use fresh chicken, leftover chicken, serve over rice, mashed potatoes, bread, or noodles. Our favorite, of course, is biscuits.

I hope you and yours enjoy this recipe. I'm open to feedback, good or bad. This is my first EVER recipe post. I hope to use this app to inspire me in my cooking and meal planning endeavors.

Thanks,
Kelly

Ingredients

20 to 25 minute
8 to 10 Serving
  1. 3-4 cupscooked shredded chicken (I am using leftovers)
  2. 6-8 cupswater (enough to cover the chicken by about an inch)
  3. 6-8chicken bullion cubes (enough to match the cups of water)
  4. 1/2 teaspoondried chopped onion (or fresh, to taste)
  5. to tasteground black pepper
  6. To Thicken: 1 1/2 to 2 cups flour wisked with 3 to 4 cups water
  7. (Thicken as much or as little as you like)
  8. Refrigerated Biscuits (as many as you want to make)

Cooking Instructions

20 to 25 minute
  1. 1

    Start by preheating the oven to the temperature recommended for the biscuits. Bake biscuits according to package directions in between steps.

  2. 2

    Place shredded chicken in pot. Add water, onion, bullion cubes, and pepper. Bring to a boil on medium high heat.

  3. 3

    Once boiling, add thickening mixture, stirring quickly so the flour mixture doesn't all clump together.

  4. 4

    Return to boiling. Stirring quite often. The chicken gravy should be thickening. You can add more thickening mixture if you like your gravy thicker. *my general rule is flour to water = 1 to 2 ratio.

  5. 5

    Once gravy is thickened to your liking, it's ready to serve. Garnish with more black pepper if you like. I don't add salt because there is plenty in the bullion cubes.

I cooked this last night for dinner and it was perfect. Using leftover rotisserie chicken and I added a can of green beans. Next time I’ll add fresh or frozen beans, but I may try peas instead.
This is a keeper.
