We went to the Charm Family Kitchen this week in Charm, Ohio. I had the chicken and biscuits. It was so good, I thought I’d share a chicken and biscuit recipe here. Now you can enjoy this filling meal, too.

- INGREDIENTS
- For the Chicken:
- 2 large chicken breast halves (bone-in)
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 small onion (chopped)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried leaf thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup white flour
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups frozen peas
- For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Directions:
- Put chicken, chicken broth, onion, thyme, and pepper in a large saucepan . Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and continue cooking at a low simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
- Remove the chicken from the broth; reserve the broth and set aside.
- Remove chicken from bone and chop.
- Grease an 8 or 9-inch baking dish or spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
- Pre-heat oven to 375 F.
- Place chicken in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle the cooked peas or peas and carrots over the chicken in the baking dish.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Stir in the flour and cook, stirring for 2 minutes.
- Gradually add the 2 cups of chicken broth and continue cooking until thickened, stirring frequently.
- Add 1/2 cup of heavy cream to the sauce.
- Add salt and pepper, as desired.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the baking dish.
Prepare the Biscuits
- In a large bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, and sugar.
- With a fork, stir in the heavy cream until moistened. Turn the dough mixture out onto a floured surface and knead 3 or 4 times, just until the dough holds together.
- Pat into a circle about 1/2 inch thick and cut out with 1 3/4 to 2-inch biscuit cutters.
- Arrange the biscuits over the hot chicken and sauce mixture in the baking dish.
- Gather the dough scraps together and cut out more biscuits, placing on the chicken mixture or on a greased baking sheet or pan. Repeat until all of the dough is used.
- Bake the chicken and biscuits and the plain biscuits until browned, about 20 to 24 minutes.
Enjoy.
