Country Chicken & Biscuits

Submitted by V.A.718

"We've made this dish time and time again. The biscuits just about double in size when baked, and the French Fried Onions give them a wonderful flavor. For the mixed veggies I use the one that has corn, green beans, carrots, and peas... and it makes the dish very colorful as well as tasty!"

Very good. I did double the soup/milk and made extra biscuits for the top which I'm glad I did. Added some sauteed mushrooms which I needed to use up and added 1 potato, cubed and cooked before adding. I also precooked the veggies for about 5 minutes in boiling water because I was afraid they would not get done. I absolutely loved the addition of the French-fried onions. The ingredients are very versatile in this recipe, but don't omit the French-fried onions. I'll be making this one again. Thanks for sharing. Made for PAC Fall 2009 :)
