Trying Chicken, Veggie Gravy and Biscuits

[vfem]

So, I'm not a chicken and biscuits person... but randomly my daughter asked for biscuits for dinner. So the idea accured to me, and I ran with it.

You'll need:
2 lb skin on, bone in chicken thighs
2 Tbsp Cooking Oil
1/2 head cabbage shredded (small head or 1/4 of a large)
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 small onion chopped
1/2 cup chopped mushrooms (optional)
2 Tbsp Butter
1/4 cup sour cream
1 cup of milk
1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
1/2 cup of chicken stock (or water is fine)

For Biscuits (you may use the canned ones or your own recipe)

Mine -
1 1/2 cup self rising flour
2 tbsp shortening
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 Tbsp Butter

For the biscuits combine everything but the milk with a fork, when crumbly mix in milk slowly until you have a sticky dough. Pour out on floured surface, knead. Roll out about 1/2" thick and cut out your biscuits. Top with melted butter then bake at 400 for 12-14 minutes.

For chicken & veggie gravy

Get a large hot skillet with 2 tsbp of olive oil or veggie oil over medium heat. When the oil ripples add chicken skin side down. Cook about 6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat to plate, add 2 tbsp butter to the skillet and put in veggies. Stir to get them all coated, give them about 2-3 minutes and add the chicken back in on top. Give the chicken about 10 more minutes to finish cooking through. - Now's a good time to put the biscuits in the oven-

Now while that is still going, whisk together milk, sour cream, mustard and stock (or water) in a separate bowl. Remove chicken again and set aside, and pour this mixture into your veggies. Heat through about 5 minutes.

Put your chicken and biscuits on the plate, and cover with the veggie gravy! YUM!

Ooooooh!
That sounds Yum-O!
Especially the chicken-veggie gravy : 9

I just happen to have 1/2 a small cabbage left that I need to do something with.
Sadly, I am biscuit-challenged, even Bisquick ones come out like lead for me

So I'll use the popcan ones.

While I am here, I am adding 5 minutes to the cook time on the chicken, I popped mine back into the made up veggie gravy and covered. They were slightly not done when I tested the chicken. This was cooking while I typed it up.

Hubby gave this RAVE reviews last night!

Vfem;
Great minds cook alike - I nuked the chicken for 2 minutes while the gravy simmered

That was AWESOMELY Tasty!
And healthy at the same time.

The gravy was sooooooooo good!
I added a clove of garlic - because what isn't better with garlic?
& no sour cream, so I used plain yogurt.

Otherwise followed yours to a T
It is going into the Notebook of Faves : 9
