Amish Chicken and Biscuits

We went to the Charm Family Kitchen this week in Charm, Ohio. I had the chicken and biscuits. It was so good, I thought I'd share a chicken and biscuit recipe here. Now you can enjoy this filling meal, too.

  • INGREDIENTS
  • For the Chicken:
  • 2 large chicken breast halves (bone-in)
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 small onion (chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried leaf thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup white flour
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups frozen peas
  •                                                                                  For the Biscuits:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Directions:
  • Put chicken, chicken broth, onion, thyme, and pepper in a large saucepan . Bring to a boil. 
  • Reduce heat to low, cover, and continue cooking at a low simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
  • Remove the chicken from the broth; reserve the broth and set aside. 
  • Remove chicken from bone and chop.
  • Grease an 8 or 9-inch baking dish or spray it with nonstick cooking spray. 
  • Pre-heat oven to 375 F.
  • Place chicken in the baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the cooked peas or peas and carrots over the chicken in the baking dish.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. 
  • Stir in the flour and cook, stirring for 2 minutes. 
  • Gradually add the 2 cups of chicken broth and continue cooking until thickened, stirring frequently. 
  • Add 1/2 cup of heavy cream to the sauce. 
  • Add salt and pepper, as desired.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the baking dish.
Prepare the Biscuits
  • In a large bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, and sugar.
  • With a fork, stir in the heavy cream until moistened. Turn the dough mixture out onto a floured surface and knead 3 or 4 times, just until the dough holds together.
  • Pat into a circle about 1/2 inch thick and cut out with 1 3/4 to 2-inch biscuit cutters.
  • Arrange the biscuits over the hot chicken and sauce mixture in the baking dish.
  • Gather the dough scraps together and cut out more biscuits, placing on the chicken mixture or on a greased baking sheet or pan. Repeat until all of the dough is used. 
  • Bake the chicken and biscuits and the plain biscuits until browned, about 20 to 24 minutes. 
Enjoy.
