  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 Tablespoons vegetable shortening
  • ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup chives chopped finely
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • For the Creamy Chicken:
  • 5 carrots cut on the diagonal
  • 2 celery stalks thinly sliced
  • 1 leek thinly sliced
  • 4 boneless chicken thighs pre-marked on a grill, cut into 1 inch slices
  • ½ cup caramelized onions
  • ½ cup roasted peppers
  • ½ cup roasted red potatoes cut into chunks
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • For the sauce:
  • 1 cup white wine sub water if you want
  • ½ cup cream
  • 1 teaspoon bouillon I use Better than Bouillon
  • 3 Tablespoons water
  • To thicken the sauce:
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 Tablespoons flour

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F. In a bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, butter, baking powder, salt, chives and cheese. Pulse until the dough forms into pea size clumps.
  • Slowly add the milk and pulse until the dough is moistened.
  • With an ice-cream scooper, drop your biscuits on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake until the biscuits are nice and golden brown (approx. –20-22 minutes). Check on your biscuits because every oven is different.
  • While the biscuits are baking in the oven, prepare the chicken and creamy wine sauce.
  • Gather up all the vegetables.
  • If you have a grill pan, add the chicken to the grill pan (or a grill) on medium-high heat and mark the chicken (or use your cast iron skillet where you’ll be making the vegetable sauce). Remove the chicken and cut into large chunks; set aside to cook the vegetables.
  • Heat about 4 tablespoons of olive or vegetable oil in a 8-inch cast iron skillet on medium-high heat (if you didn’t mark your chicken on a grill or grill pan), add the chicken pieces. Cook the chicken to give color on both sides. Remove the chicken and cut into large chunks.
  • In the same skillet, toss in the carrots, celery, leeks, and thyme. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sautee for about 7 minutes. Add in the boneless chicken thighs. Stir frequently and cook for about 5 minutes.
  • Add in 1 teaspoon of the bouillon paste. Stir it around in the pan.
  • Pour the cup of white wine (into the pan and stir it around until combined.
  • Add in the frozen peas.
  • Add in the flour mixture. Stir around until combined.
  • Add in the 1/2 cup cream and the water. Stir until all the cream is combined and let it simmer on low for about 3-5 minutes. Pull out the sprigs of thyme and toss them.
  • Arrange the biscuits on top of the creamy chicken sauce. Serve the creamy chicken with a cheddar chive drop biscuit on top.
