Country Chicken On Biscuits
A comforting Southern-style chicken and vegetable dish served over biscuits, featuring flavorful broth, tender chicken, and mixed vegetables in a savory sauce.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups water and chicken bouillon cubes or instant chicken bouillon until dissolved.
- Remove the vegetables from their pouch and add them to the broth.
- Heat until the vegetables are thawed.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup flour with 1/2 cup water; stir until smooth.
- Add the flour mixture to the broth-vegetable mixture, stirring constantly until thick and smooth.
- Stir in the cubed chicken, marjoram, turmeric, and onion salt.
- Serve hot over baked biscuits.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding garlic powder or fresh herbs like thyme or parsley. If you don't have chicken bouillon, vegetable stock can be a substitute for a lighter option. To make this dish heartier, you can incorporate cooked potatoes or use leftover rotisserie chicken to cut down on prep time.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this comforting dish over freshly baked biscuits for a delightful meal. It pairs wonderfully with a side salad or steamed green beans for a balanced dinner. For a fun twist, try adding a sprinkle of cheese on top or serving alongside a light soup like Easy Hearty Corn Chowder.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally, or microwave in short intervals, stirring in between, until heated through. If the mixture thickens too much, add a splash of water or broth to loosen it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken instead of cubed chicken?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken; just ensure it is fully cooked before adding it to the dish. You may need to adjust the cooking time to allow the chicken to thaw and cook through properly.
What type of biscuits should I use?
Homemade or store-bought biscuits work well. For a classic touch, try using flaky buttermilk biscuits, as they provide a great contrast in texture with the creamy chicken mixture.
Can I make this dish in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the chicken and vegetable mixture ahead of time. Store it separately from the biscuits and reheat before serving. This helps to keep the biscuits fresh and prevents them from getting soggy.
