Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 buttermilk biscuits, baked
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden and tender.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until smooth. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until it begins to thicken.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Add the cooked shredded chicken to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy is thick and creamy.
Split the baked buttermilk biscuits in half and place them on plates.
Ladle the chicken and mushroom gravy over the biscuits generously.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
