Creamed Chicken on Biscuits

Submitted by DrBuzzetta

"One of the comfort foods I enjoyed as a kid was creamed chicken on biscuits. It was relatively simple, but tasty and filling. Whenever I get a craving, I like to make a batch. Unfortunately, I can’t find my mother’s exact recipe, so I’ve tried to recreate it here."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 15mins
• Ingredients: 14
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1⁄3 cup butter
• 1⁄3 cup flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 1 celery, chopped
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1⁄2 teaspoon sage
• 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1⁄2 teaspoon marjoram
• 1⁄2 teaspoon white pepper
• 3 cups rotisserie chicken, chopped

directions

1. If not already shredded, shred/chop the chicken. (I typically use a rotisserie chicken to save time. You can pressure cook a whole chicken with some onions, carrots, and celery in 3-4 cups water and make homemade broth - you would discard vegetables after cooking.).
2. Sauté carrots, celery, and onion until translucent, soft, and slightly brown. Put into small bowl and set aside. Note: These are different than the vegetables you would use if you decided to make the homemade broth in step 1.
3. In a measuring cup, mix together chicken broth (I use Better Than Bouillon soup base and water) and heavy cream, and set aside.
4. In a pot, melt butter and add flour. Stir until very slightly brown.
5. Slowly whisk in the broth/cream mixture whisking until smooth after each addition.
6. Once all the liquid has been incorporated, add seasonings.
7. Mix in chicken and vegetables, and cook until thickened.
8. Serve over biscuits that have been opened up and buttered.
