Recipe Challenge: Day 15 – Chicken Biscuit Bake

Pin It
My Grandmother sent me this recipe, I’m always excited when she sends me one. Since I live well across country now I don’t get to see my family at all, so a recipe from back home is a much welcomed surprise. My Grandmother also has a ton of recipes that just end up being perfect. Comfort food by far, I keep them safe and tucked away in my recipe box.

The recipe is called, Chicken Biscuit Bake. I  changed this  up a bit only because of the fact that I don’t use the refrigerator biscuits. My Mom helped me get it down so it would work. Using a Baking powder Biscuit recipe I used half the dough to do the recipe the original way stated in the recipe from my Grandmother. Using the other half of the biscuit dough I made dumplings to see if I could do it on the stove. The result? Two winning ways to make the same dish!

Chicken Biscuit Bake
Ingredients
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup ,undiluted
2/3 cup mayonnaise light or fat free can be used
2-3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
4 cups cubed cooked chicken
2 cup chopped broccoli already cooked
1 medium onion chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
*I also added chopped up carrots and green onions

2 tubes of refrigerated buttermilk biscuits. (I used the Baking Powder Biscuit recipe below and cooked the same way as recipe directed. )

Topping:
2 eggs
½ cup sour cream
2 teaspoons celery seed
1 teaspoon salt

In a bowl combine the soup, mayonnaise and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in the chicken , broccoli and the onion. Move it to a greased 13x9x2 baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover and bake at 375F for about 20 minutes. Separate biscuits. Cut each in half. Arrange, cut side down over hot chicken. In a bowl combine the topping ingredients and pour over biscuits. Bake uncovered for about 20 minutes or until biscuits are lightly golden brown.

Baking Powder Biscuits

Ingredients
2 c. all-purpose flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 c. shortening
3/4 c. milk
Directions

Mix dry ingredients together, cut in shortening thoroughly, until mixture looks like meal. Stir in almost all the milk. If dough is pliable, add just enough milk to make a soft, puffy, easy-to-roll dough.
Round up dough on lightly floured board. Knead lightly 20-25 times, about 1/2 minute. Roll 1/2 inch thick. Cut with floured biscuit cutter (about 2″ diameter)
Place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake in 450′ oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
You can also use this recipe for drop biscuits, just increase milk to 1 cup, and drop by spoonfuls onto greased baking sheet. You can also add 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese for cheese biscuits, and 1 tsp. granulated garlic for cheddar bay biscuits (like Red lobster)
