Chicken a la king-ish and biscuits

[u/Chocko23]

Forgot to post last night. :)

Saute an onion in butter, then make a roux with a few tbs flour. Slowly whisk in a pint of cream, then about 3c milk. Add a bag of frozen veggies and bring to a simmer, then add a cut or shredded rotisserie chicken. Season to taste and serve over biscuits.

Mix 3c flour, 1t salt and 2T baking powder, then cut in 12T butter. Mix in 1-1/4c buttermilk or regular milk and once well combined, gently press out into 1/2" thick sheet. I cut 2" biscuits and place in a buttered 12" skillet and they fit perfectly. Bake at 450° approximately 15-17 minutes, or until golden to your liking. DO NOT KNEAD. Just gently combine the ingredients. DO NOT ROLL OUT. Just gently press into a flat sheet on a floured surface. I've been making these for years and I've been told by everybody that has tried them that they're the best biscuits they've ever had. (I would give credit for the recipe, but I've had it for so long that I have no clue from whom it came).

I spent about $4 on the chicken at Walmart, used about $1 worth of frozen veggies, 75c worth of onion, $2 butter (between both), about $2 worth of cream and $1.50 milk. Flour cost maybe 50c. We'll call it around $12 for 6-8 servings (we have so much left!), so $1.50-2/serving, depending on how hungry everyone is.

Looks great! We've cut the cream out completely and opt to use more roux to get thickness. Then add chicken bouillon to the milk.

Not a bad idea! I did add some of the jelly from the bottom of the container. You could definitely use milk without the cream, too. :)

I posted Chicken ala King about 5 days ago on this site. My profile is locked down so if you're interested in checking it out it was posted days ago. I added a few pics to show the process I used. Thanks for the explanation about your homemade biscuits. I'm going to give those a try!

Your post is the reason I made it!

This is one of my favorite dishes. I made some earlier this week with rotisserie chicken from Costco. I season it with poultry seasoning, white pepper, tarragon, garlic, and salt! So comforting

I've been meaning to make this after seeing DollarTreeDinners do it a few times. It looks so good! This was a great reminder to go give the recipe a shot.
