Time for some down home comfort food!  This homestyle chicken and biscuits recipe will warm your soul and is hearty enough for even the hungriest crowd!

Homestyle Chicken and Biscuits | This Midwest and Southern comfort food recipe is made of savory chicken in rich cream sauce with vegetables, topped with fluffy Parmesan cheese drop biscuits, and baked until bubbly and perfect! | https://thechunkychef.com | #comfortfood #chickenandbiscuits #fromscratch #homestyle #chickenrecipe #dropbiscuits #easyrecipesY’all, the weather is cooling down, it gets dark sooner… it’s totally time for comfort!

Overheat shot of chicken and biscuits in pan

This chicken and biscuits recipe is straight from my friends Donna and Chad’s new cookbook, The Simple Kitchen. They blog over at The Slow Roasted Italian.  This is their first cookbook, and after reading this one, I’m SURE it’ll be a huge hit.

I mean, page after page of fantastic recipes!  I had a really hard time narrowing down which recipe to share with you all.

Aside from this amazing recipe, there are SO many other great ones, like Triple Cheesy Mac and Cheese, Stacked Cantina Nachos, Honey Ginger Glazed Carrots, Legendary Pecan Pie Bars, and MORE!  You can buy their book HERE!  I promise, you won’t regret it!

Shot of chicken and biscuits in pan, with sprig of parsley

Have you ever had classic chicken and biscuits before?  It’s traditionally a Midwestern and Southern dish, but I’m sure it’s a favorite among other areas of the country as well.

It’s sort of like chicken and dumplings, but with golden brown biscuits!  Which, in my opinion, is way better!  But then again, I’m totally biscuit obsessed… especially these!

This recipe is a 30 minute meal, which is perfect for this time of the year as well.  We’re all crazy busy basically from now until January, so a home cooked meal in 30 minutes?  Sign me up!

Plus, with the exception of the biscuits being mixed in a bowl, this dish cooks in one pan!  So less dishes to clean up, and less time in the kitchen… which means more time to spend with your family!  Win, win, win!

The next time you’re craving some classic comfort food, give this homestyle chicken and biscuits a try!

HELPFUL TOOLS:

  • Casserole Pan with Lid – Hands down, one of my favorite pans… easy cleanup, great size, pretty, and I love the clear lid!
  • Box Grater – make shredding that Parmesan super easy!

Creamy chicken and vegetables, all cooked in the same pan, topped with fluffy homemade drop biscuits, then baked until browned and bubbly!

Ingredients

CHICKEN:

  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 small shallot, diced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp dried rosemary
  • 3/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 3/4 tsp dried basil
  • 1/3 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp dried marjoram
  • pinch dried sage
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 3 cups chicken stock (reduced sodium)
  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2" pieces
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup frozen peas

BISCUITS:

  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt, divided
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups freshly shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley

Instructions

FOR THE CHICKEN:

  • Preheat oven to 450 F degrees.  Melt butter in 4 qt braising pan or 12" oven safe skillet over MED-HIGH heat.  Add carrots and shallot.  Cook until the shallot is softened, 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Sprinkle the flour, rosemary, oregano, basil, thyme, marjoram, sage, salt and pepper over the vegetables and stir to coat completely.  Cook for 1 minute to cook out the floury taste.
  • Add the chicken stock, chicken pieces, milk and peas to the pan.  Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer.  Cover the pan and cook 5 minutes.

BISCUITS:

  • While chicken mixture is simmering, add 2 Tbsp of the butter to a large microwave safe mixing bowl.  Microwave 30 seconds, or until the butter is melted.  Add flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp kosher salt.  Stir until combined.  Pour in the milk and stir until the flour is all wet; do not overmix.  Fold in the cheese

PUT IT ALL TOGETHER:

  • Uncover the pot and drop heaping spoonfuls of biscuits on top of the chicken stew.  Transfer to the oven and bake 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Melt remaining 2 Tbsp butter in a small bowl. Add the remaining 1/4 tsp kosher salt and dried parsley.  Stir with a pastry brush.  Remove pan from oven and brush the biscuits with the melted butter mixture.

    This recipe is absolutely delicious! I took a picture of it after it came out of the oven, and it looked exactly like the picture posted. I followed the recipe exactly except I used a cup of grated parmesan cheese and a cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese. I cooked mine for 12 minutes to make sure that the biscuits were cooked through. Everyone ate it and came back for seconds. It is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

      No it cooks during the simmering process, as well as in the oven 🙂

    Just made this for the first time last night. It was delicious!! I did not change or modify anything. The biscuits turned out perfectly, cooked through and their flavor!! Wow. I want to make those by themselves to go with other dinners. The creamy chicken sauce is also perfect, not too thick, not too runny but just right and packed with flavor. This is a definite keeper.

      I’ve only tested this recipe as written. So without testing and retesting it myself, I can’t say for certain how well this would hold up if made ahead. Personally, I would think the biscuits would get pretty soggy. If you try it, I’d love to know how it turns out!

      Hi! Currently making this and am now wondering if it’s supposed to be 3 cup stock as well as 1 cup milk for 4 cups total
      Liquid to 1/4 cup flour? Mine seems really runny :/

      Reply
      • The Chunky Chef says

        Posted on 1/11 at 10:18 pm

        Yes that’s the correct amount (keep in mind this isn’t a recipe I developed, it’s a fellow food content creator’s recipe from their cookbook, that they asked me to share), and it should thicken up after simmering for a bit.

    Mixed the biscuits except the milk. Accidentally knocked a bag of dried cherries out of the cabinet right on top of the flour in the bowl…POOF
    Clouds of flour everywhere; counter, shirt, face, shoes, floor.
    Ha, ha, ha LOL. Looks like I’ve been baking all day!
    Tasted great anyway.

    One of my favorite meals to eat and make! I’m notorious for making messes in the kitchen, and this one pan recipe ALMOST makes it hard for me to make a mess (I find a way). So good, so hearty, just the perfect cold weather meal!!

    Making this for my hubby tonight as it’s raining in San Francisco. My biscuits sunk in the stew! Nothing to baste with parsley butter. What did I do wrong? I like dumplings too LOL. It’s in the oven now, maybe they will rise while cooking?

        I had a similar experience with the biscuits. Next time I’ll either a) use less liquid, or b) try to cook it down more. I felt the there was too much liquid or that it just hadn’t cooked down enough

    Made this today—didn’t have peas so I doubled the carrots, plus I had mushrooms I needed to use, so added those in with carrots and shallots. JUST OMG. Everything is amazing. The parm biscuits are a revelation. Cooked the whole thing in my cast iron skillet. OM NOM NOM NOM. Thank you! Will make this again and again!

    Oh wow! This was one of the best recipes I’ve ever made! I did 6 servings instead of 8 since only a couple of us were eating. And I didn’t feel like making my own biscuits, so I used Pillsbury instead. I also didn’t have a stove-top dish that was safe to put in the oven, so I used 2 different dishes. That’s the only thing I changed about the recipe. I recommend checking out her other recipes too, I’ve never been disappointed!

    I’d like to make this recipe for a friend who is not feeling well but I don’t want to cook it right away. I’d like to drop it off & let her cook it when they’re ready to eat. Can I prepare the entire recipe, but leave the biscuits off the top(make the biscuits, but allow her to add them just before cooking)‽ I’m afraid if I add them they’ll get “soggy”. Thanks!

      That’s very sweet of you! Since the biscuit dough has chemical leavening (the baking powder), it will start activating as soon as the dough is mixed, and then when she bakes the dish, the biscuits won’t get fluffy. I would say this meal is great to bring over already cooked, to cook at her house for her, or make the recipe (minus the biscuits), then she can add a canned biscuit dough, or make the biscuits herself.

    Delicious dish that’s bursting with flavor! Im not a fan of chicken pot pie so was reluctant to try but so glad i did, this recipe isn’t bland tasting at all and the perfect amount of bread. Making this for the second time tonight. Thanks for sharing 🙂

      I actually don’t cook the chicken beforehand in this recipe 🙂 It’s chopped up into small bite-sized pieces, then essentially poached in the liquid on the stovetop, then it finishes in the oven.
