Smothered Biscuits And Chicken
Ingredients:
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1 small onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 1 cup milk
– 1 tsp dried thyme
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 8 pre-made biscuits
Instructions:
1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
3. Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and vegetables, stirring continuously to create a roux. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
4. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer.
5. Pour in the milk, stirring well to combine. Let the mixture simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
6. While the gravy simmers, bake the pre-made biscuits according to the package instructions until they are golden brown and fluffy.
7. To serve, split the biscuits in half and place them on a plate. Spoon the chicken and gravy mixture over the biscuits, allowing the creamy sauce to soak into the flaky layers.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped green onions for a pop of color and freshness.
