CHICKEN AND BISCUITS CASSEROLE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan and rub them with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until cooked through. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then remove the meat from the bones and discard the skin. Cut the chicken into large dice. You will have 4 to 6 cups of cubed chicken.
• In a small saucepan, heat the chicken stock and dissolve the bouillon cubes in the stock. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter and saute the onions over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until translucent. Add the flour and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the hot chicken stock to the sauce. Simmer over low heat for 1 more minute, stirring, until thick. Add 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and the heavy cream. Add the cubed chicken, carrots, peas, onions, and parsley. Mix well. Place the stew in a 10 x 13 x 2-inch oval or rectangular baking dish. Place the baking dish on a sheet pan lined with parchment or wax paper. Bake for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the biscuits. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the butter is the size of peas. Add the half-and-half and combine on low speed. Mix in the parsley. Dump the dough out on a well-floured board and, with a rolling pin, roll out to 3/8-inch thick. Cut out twelve circles with a 2 1/2-inch round cutter.
• Remove the stew from the oven and arrange the biscuits on top of the filling. Brush them with egg wash, and return the dish to the oven. Bake for another 20 to 30 minutes, until the biscuits are brown and the stew is bubbly.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until tender. Sprinkle flour on top of onions; cook and stir 30 seconds. Gradually add broth; heat to simmering, stirring frequently.
• Stir in rice, chicken, frozen vegetables, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook 4 to 5 minutes or until mixture is bubbly and slightly thickened. Remove from heat; stir in whipping cream. Transfer hot mixture to baking dish; cover and keep warm.
• Separate dough into 8 biscuits; cut each biscuit in half, split through the middle, to get two rounds. Cut each round in half crosswise to get two half-moon shapes. Carefully place on top of hot mixture in baking dish, overlapping slightly.
• In small microwavable bowl, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter; brush on top of biscuit pieces. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. Garnish with chopped parsley.
