Calories: 444kcal
Ingredients
- 3 lbs. boneless skinless, chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 ½ cups chicken broth
- ⅓ cup cooking sherry
- 1 ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 2 carrots finely chopped
- 2 celery ribs finely chopped
- chopped parsley for garnish
For the Biscuits
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup cold butter cut in small pieces
- ¾ cup half and half cream or milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉.
- Heat oil in a large skillet . Brown chicken on medium high heat for 2-3 minutes per side and place in a 9x13 pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. This can be done in two batches if the skillet isn’t large enough to fit all the chicken at once.
- Pour chicken broth and cooking sherry into skillet and heat until boiling. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring to lift all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning.
- In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch and water. Whisk cornstarch mixture into boiling broth mixture. Cook for 2 minutes or until starting to thicken. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Sprinkle chopped onion, carrots, celery, and frozen peas evenly over chicken.
- Pour broth mixture over the chicken and cover pan with foil. Cook for 45 minutes.
- While chicken is cooking, prepare the biscuits. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until dough begins to hold together. Move dough to a counter or cutting board and knead 4-5 times. Do not overwork dough. Form dough into a ball and divide into 8 equal pieces. Form each piece into a circle and flatten slightly.
- When timer rings for chicken, remove from oven and turn oven to 425℉. Place biscuits on top of chicken and return to oven, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until biscuits have started to turn golden brown. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- If you’d like to save time, you can use a biscuit mix instead of making your own.
- Don’t worry if the dish seems too watery after you take it out of the oven the first time. It will thicken up more as the biscuits cook.
