Time 3h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 (4 pound) whole chicken, rinsed
2 quarts water
1 large bay leaf
1 whole clove
4 cloves garlic, peeled
½ cup butter
3 carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 ribs celery, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
6 mushrooms, quartered
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup milk
1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
3 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough

Steps:

  • Place chicken in large (9-quart) stock pot, pour in water, and drop in bay leaf and single clove. Bring to simmer over medium-low heat. As foam rises to the top of the broth, skim and discard with a ladle. Add peeled garlic cloves, cover pot, and simmer on low for 1 hour.
  • Remove chicken from pot, and allow to cool for a few minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove all meat from the bones, and set the chicken meat aside. Pour stock into a bowl and set aside.
  • In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, melt butter, and cook and stir carrots, celery, onion, and mushrooms until the vegetables start to become tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt, white pepper, cayenne pepper, black pepper and paprika. Mix in flour, stirring to coat vegetables with flour, about 5 minutes. Add half of reserved stock, and stir with the vegetables and flour to form a very thick sauce. Stir in remaining stock until sauce is smooth; reduce heat to a simmer, and cook uncovered for 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Stir milk into the sauce, and gently mix in the reserved chicken meat, herbes de Provence, tarragon, and rosemary. Bring stew back to a simmer, and cook for 10 more minutes. Pop open the can of biscuits, separate, and place biscuits on top of stew.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the biscuits are golden brown and the stew is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Place lid on the pot or Dutch oven, and return to oven; bake until biscuits are cooked through, about 15 more minutes. Test biscuits for doneness by pulling apart a biscuit near the middle of the stew to see if it's cooked through.

Time 2h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (3 to 3 1/2 pound) whole chicken
2 ½ quarts cold water
1 large carrot, cubed
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 onion, chopped
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
½ cup creme fraiche
½ cup milk
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 eggs
2 cups self-rising flour
4 sprigs thyme, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a Dutch oven. Add water, carrot, celery, onion, 3 sprigs of thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour. Remove chicken from dutch oven and transfer to a bowl; set aside to cool.
  • Increase heat and bring the stock to a simmer. Skim off any chicken fat that appears on top of the stock and reserve in a bowl. Combine 2 to 3 tablespoons of the reserved fat with flour in a small bowl; stir to make a paste, adding more flour if needed. Add the chicken fat and flour mixture to the stock. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Remove chicken meat from the carcass and add to the stock. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste. Continue simmering for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Whisk creme fraiche, milk, 2 teaspoons of thyme leaves, and eggs together in a large bowl. Stir in self-rising flour until almost entirely incorporated; do not overmix.
  • Scoop large dollops of dumpling mixture on top of the chicken stock. Increase heat slightly to medium-high. Cover and simmer until dumplings appear light and fluffy, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve garnish with thyme sprigs.

CHEF JOHN'S BUTTERMILK BISCUITS



Chef John's Buttermilk Biscuits image

This deceptively simple buttermilk biscuit recipe can come out a million different ways with some very minor variations on the ingredients and amounts. This one's my favorite - flaky, but not dry; chewy, but not tough; and crisp in just the right spots. Ice-cold butter and some extra dough folding are key to having lots of flaky layers in each golden brown buttermilk biscuit.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Biscuit

Time 35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled in freezer and cut into thin slices
¾ cup cold buttermilk
2 tablespoons buttermilk for brushing

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Add cold butter slices and cut into the flour with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Make a well in the center of the mixture. Pour cold buttermilk into the well and stir gently until just combined.
  • Turn dough onto a floured work surface and pat it together into a rectangle.
  • Fold the rectangle in thirds. Turn dough a half turn, gather any crumbs, and flatten back into a rectangle. Repeat twice more, folding and pressing the dough a total of three times.
  • Roll dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick. Use a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter to cut biscuits. Reroll any scraps to cut more biscuits; you should get 12 total.
  • Transfer biscuits to the prepared baking sheet. Press an indent into the top of each biscuit with your thumb. Brush buttermilk over the tops.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are flaky and golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

Biscuits:
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2" cubes
1/4 cup vegetable shortening or lard
4 cups all-purpose flour plus more
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
Fried chicken:
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
3 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 3/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, divided
Large pinch of cayenne pepper
10 small boneless, skin-on chicken thighs
Vegetable oil (for frying)
1 cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons peanut oil
1 large egg
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
10 slices cheddar (optional)
Sausage Gravy (optional)
Special Equipment
A 3" biscuit cutter

Steps:

  • For biscuits:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Place butter and shortening in freezer for 10 minutes.
  • Blend 4 cups flour and next 5 ingredients in a food processor. Add butter and shortening. Pulse mixture until it resembles coarse meal, 20-25 pulses. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Gradually add buttermilk while tossing mixture with a fork (mixture will not be completely incorporated). Knead in bowl with lightly floured hands just until dough forms, about 3 turns.
  • Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Pat out dough until 1" thick. Lift 1 side and fold it over. Gently repeat 5 more times. Roll dough to 3/4"-thick round. Using a 3" biscuit cutter, cut biscuits from dough. Gather scraps and repeat patting out and cutting biscuits for a total of 10 biscuits.
  • Place biscuits on a parchment paper- lined baking sheet, spaced 1"-2" apart. Bake until golden brown and a tester inserted horizontally comes out clean, 12-15 minutes. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack; let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature. DO AHEAD: Can be made 8 hours ahead. Let cool completely. Store airtight at room temperature. Rewarm before serving.
  • For fried chicken:
  • Whisk buttermilk, dill, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and cayenne in a large bowl. Add chicken; turn to coat. Cover; chill at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Pour vegetable oil in a large pot to a depth of 2". Attach a deep-fry thermometer to side of pot. Heat oil over medium heat to 350°F.
  • Whisk 1 1/4 cups water with remaining 2 teaspoons salt, remaining 3/4 teaspoon pepper, flour, and next 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Drain chicken well; pat dry with paper towels. Working in batches, dip chicken into batter. Fry chicken, turning occasionally, until skin is crispy and golden brown and chicken is just cooked through, 9-12 minutes per batch. Drain chicken on paper towels.
  • Split biscuits in half; place 1 bottom half on each plate. Top each with a cheese slice, if desired, then a chicken thigh. Spoon Sausage Gravy over chicken, if desired. Place biscuit top over.

DUGGAR'S CHICKEN IN A BISCUIT RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Duggar's Chicken In A Biscuit Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Susan52

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups of shredded mild cheddar
2 (8oz) cans of all natural canned chicken
1 (26oz) can of cream of chicken soup
1 % milk (about 1-2 cups)
3 cans of crescent rolls

Steps:

  • In large mixing bowl combine cream of chicken soup with milk, until it is gravy consistency (set aside) In a different bowl combine cheese and shredded chicken. (Break up chicken with fork or fingers until finely shredded) Lightly spray pan with nonstick spray Pour small amount of gravy in bottom of 9X13 baking dish. (Just enough gravy for biscuits not to stick to bottom) Spray counter-top with no-stick spray and thoroughly wash hands Now one by one separate crescent rolls and flatten with fingers until thin but with no holes Fill crescent with chicken and cheese mixture (palm full of mix) and wrap tightly in crescent roll Continue until pan is full or you are out of chicken and cheese mixture Finally pour remained gravy over top and bake for 40-45 mins at 350 degrees Crescent rolls will bubble and some will brown on top if not thoroughly covered with gravy

Tips:

  • Use a whole chicken for a more flavorful broth. Roasting the chicken before shredding it adds extra flavor to the biscuits and gravy.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, then remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before shredding.
  • Make sure the gravy is thick enough. The gravy should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If the gravy is too thin, add a little flour or cornstarch to thicken it.
  • Serve the biscuits and gravy hot. Biscuits and gravy are best served hot and fresh out of the oven. You can also make them ahead of time and reheat them in the oven or microwave.

Conclusion:

Chef John's Chicken and Biscuits is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. The combination of tender chicken, fluffy biscuits, and creamy gravy is simply irresistible. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this dish is sure to be a hit.
