Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
- 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 cup Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, green beans, and corn)
- 6 pieces Pre-made or homemade biscuits
- 1 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest. Once cooled, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the all-purpose flour, stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, making sure there are no lumps. Continue stirring for 2-3 minutes as the mixture thickens.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the gravy is smooth and creamy.
Add the shredded chicken and frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and heated through.
While the chicken mixture is simmering, prepare the biscuits according to the package instructions or your desired homemade recipe. Once baked, split the biscuits in half.
To serve, layer each biscuit half on a plate and generously spoon the chicken and vegetable gravy over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this comforting dish!
