Creamy Chicken and Biscuits Bake

Creamy Chicken and Biscuits Bake | One Pot Meal | With Garlic Biscuits

https://youtu.be/vFW0BeuXFhk

Creamy Chicken and Biscuits Casserole came from an older post on Cat-head Garlic Cheddar biscuits.  As I geared up to make those awesome biscuits I decided to just make supper and decided to try to make a casserole out of it.

The first thing is to get the stuff to make the biscuits – flour, whipping cream, garlic, and cheese.

Next I got the makings for a casserole.  I figured some chicken breasts and some cans of cream of chicken soup.

 

The “procedure” for theCreamy Chicken and Biscuits Casserole is easy:

  • Throw the chicken into a an 8 inch baking pan
  • Pour soup over the top
  • Add a little water of desired.
  • Make the biscuit dough
  • Spoon biscuit dough over the chicken mix
  • Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes

This is almost the same thing as the boxed casserole meals. Which is funny, considering in my bachelor years I loved buying those box casserole meals and once I married Genny she doesn’t let me make them because she doesn’t like them, but she likes this. I tried to tell her it was basically the same thing, just made from “scratch” and not out of a box, but I got the look, so I decided to shut my trap.

Cheating Chicken Pot Pie came from messing around with making mini pies.  I love chicken pot pie and I planned to make a chicken pot pie from scratch, but at the last minute I decided to cheat.

How did I cheat?  Instead of making a chicken pot pie filling from scratch, I filled the mini pies with chicken soup.

I did make the pie crust from scratch, it is just the filling that was a cheat.

Of course you can cheat even further an buy ready made pie crusts, or even whomp can pie dough.

I will admit, I just (finally) learned how to make a flaky pie crust, but when I did, man did I get into a pie kick.  Over just a few days, I made a bunch of things that needed pie dough.  We made mini apple pies, tomato pies, and chicken pot pie with a cheat recipe that turned out to be my favorite.

However in order to do all of this we needed to learn to make pie dough.

To do this you should use a food processor, but all I had was my refurbished Kitchenaid stand mixer but we made it work.

Making Pie Crust

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups of All Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 1/2 sticks of butter (unsalted)
  • 1/4 cup of ice water
  • Procedure:
  • Slice butter into small pats and put back in the refrigerator to chill
  • Mix dry ingredients into food processor
  • Add chilled butter and process until the mix is combined and crumbly
  • Add ice water and process into dough
  • Remove dough and shape into a solid mass – don’t knead it
  • Wrap dough in plastic wrap (or beeswax cloth)
  • Let rest in refrigerator for an hour

That is all there is to it.

Garlic Knot Pizza Casserole is a kid friendly recipe that my boy loves making more than he likes eating it.  Which is funny because he begs for pizza every night.  For some reason WT likes opening up cans of whomp biscuits.

This makes a pretty good supper for those nights that you want some comfort food but are tired and don’t want an involved recipe.

You don’t have to add as much topping as we did, and you can vary the toppings just like any pizza. However, you do want a liquid sauce on the top of the casserole as that helps the biscuits cook to the right consistency and texture.

Cooking with your kids is a pretty important part of parenting, at least in my mind.  It not only shows you want to spend time with them, it teaches cause and effect, math, following directions, and patience.

Garlic Knot Pizza Casserole

Ingredients:

  • Brown hamburger
  • 2 rolls of can biscuits
  • Maranara Sauce

Today we make mini apple pie.  On a whim I bought the little pie maker set pictured here and started messing with making pie dough and lots of pies.  I am new to making pie crust, but I should have gotten into earlier as much as I like tomato pie.

My son was pretty exited about making mini pies, he wanted us to eat them up, but he had to give permission to specific people who could eat them.

This isn’t a recipe or a review, We are just showing the little silicon pie crusts and how they work.

I am sure that if you made a lot of pie crust you would make better pies than I do

This is a pretty cool thing to do with a kid, or if like me, your wife does not allow whole pies into the house due to being “non-supportive” of her diet.

But I will show you the apple pie filling:

Ingredients:

  • 1 large granny smith apple cored, peeled, and chopped into pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract

Procedure:

  • Mix all the ingredients
  • Spoon into mini pies and fill about 1/3 full
  • Add egg wash to the top of the dough and then add the tops
