Creamed Chicken & Biscuits
Biscuits
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
Creamed Chicken
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cups milk or chicken broth
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
Minced fresh parsley
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add milk and oil. Stir until the dough forms a ball. On a lightly floured surface, knead 8-10 times or until smooth. Roll or pat dough into a 6-in. square about 1 in. thick. Use a biscuit cutter or cut into six rectangles. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
While the biscuits are baking, in a large skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until blended. Gradually add milk; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in chicken and parsley; cook until heated through. Split biscuits - top with the creamed chicken.
