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.

Chef John's Buttermilk Biscuits image

Recipe by: Chef John "This deceptively simple 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; crisp in just the right spots."

Categories     High In...

Time 35m

Yield 6 biscuits, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled in freezer and cut into thin slices
3/4 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, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl.
  • Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 5 minutes.
  • Make a well in the center of butter and flour mixture. Pour in 3/4 cup buttermilk; stir until just combined.
  • Turn dough onto a floured work surface, pat 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 dough a total of three times.
  • Roll dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Cut out 12 biscuits using a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter.
  • Transfer biscuits to the prepared baking sheet. Press an indent into the top of each biscuit with your thumb.
  • Brush the tops of biscuits with 2 tablespoons buttermilk.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality chicken. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your biscuits.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscuits tough.
  • Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help the biscuits to rise properly.
  • Cut the biscuits out with a sharp knife or biscuit cutter. This will help to prevent the biscuits from sticking together.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. This will help them to rise quickly and evenly.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, honey, jam, and gravy.
