Old-fashioned Chicken N' Biscuits

Happy Friday! I don't know about everyone else, but by Friday, I'm tired and the last thing I want to do is cook, not to mention it's the end of the month and lets just say meals get a little interesting on the last week. This recipe is quick easy, has plenty of veggies and doesn't use many ingredients (assuming you have spices, chicken and veggies on hand). There are so many ways to make this super easy and change it up. I tend to cook a lot of chicken and then shred and freeze it which made this a breeze, I also wasn't in the mood to make the homemade biscuits and I had some Bisquick on hand which made this a 30 minute meal and who doesn't love that :)  Hope you enjoy! My pic wouldn't post, I know it's always better with a photo sorry!

Old-fashioned Chicken N' Biscuits

Ingredients:

1 medium onion, chopped

2 T canola oil

1/4 cup flour

1/2 tsp dried basil

1/2 tsp dried thyme

1/4 tsp pepper

2 and 1/2 cups milk

1 T Worcestershire sauce

1 package (16 oz) frozen mixed vegetables

2 cups cubed cooked chicken

2 T grated Parmesan cheese (I don't always have this because it's pricey, you can use whatever you have and it will be just as good)

(I don't think this makes enough biscuit for the sauce so I usually 1 and a half or double it but thats just preference)

Biscuits

1 cup flour

1 T sugar

1 and 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/3 cup milk

3 T canola oil

1 T minced parsley (I never have that on hand so I always use dried)

Directions

In a large saucepan, saute onion in oil until tender. Stir in the flour, basil, thyme and pepper until blended. Gradually stir in milk and Worcestershire sauce until smooth,. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the vegetables, chicken and cheese; reduce heat to low.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, combine the milk, oil and parsley; stir into dry ingredients just until combined.

Transfer hot chicken mixture to a greased 2 and 1/2 quart baking dish. Drop biscuit batter by rounded tablespoonfuls onto chicken mixture. 

Bake uncovered at 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until biscuits are lightly browned.

Yield 8 servings ( I like leftovers but you can half everything if you don't)
