Excellent stew! I made this as written and added a little sprinkle of Old Bay Seasoning. I don't think my big pot was good / hot enough, it didn't properly cook the room temp biscuits. I ended up dumping the biscuits and opening another can of Pillsbury Grande Buttermilk and sticking them in the oven. Will be making again!

I loved this - thanks so much for posting! I've been searching for an easy chicken stew and this one definitely fit the bill! I made one variation - added a bunch of tarragon - maybe 1 TBL. I also boiled after adding the flour / milk mixture. This was really good and we'll be making this many many times again. Thanks NOTE: I made my biscuits separate in the oven...

I'm a stay-at-home-mom of two boys who seldom finds herself at home. We're often out and about (swimming, zoo, museum, friends, family, etc.) I try to cook healthy without going "overboard". My husband is a more picky eater than my boys, so we don't have a lot of variety. When I can, I like to find time to quilt and edit the thousands of digital photos I take.
