Creamed Chicken for Biscuits Recipe

Ahh, comfort food! This is a wonderful chicken and biscuits recipe. I love that it doesn't call for cans of prepared soup, it's all homemade but still very easy. Changes I made: half and half instead of cream. No garlic, no almonds. Used peas/carrots combo instead of plain peas. I used all the salt and pepper called for and even added a little extra salt. Served over baking powder biscuits from the freezer section. YUMMMY. Thanks, I love it!

My family loved this recipe! I made a few changes based on other's reviews and what I had on hand. I used 2% instead of cream, corn instead of peas, and skipped the almonds entirely. For seasoning I used celery salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. I also added the liquid to the butter/flour mixture slowly, as that makes for a less floury flavor and a very smooth consistency. Finally, based on other's reviews, I doubled the seasonings. Next time I'll use the recommended amount of pepper, as that particular flavor was too strong for my taste.

This was good, but it lacks chicken flavor. I made it as written, omitting only the almonds, because I had none. For the chicken, I first seared, then simmered bone-in chicken breasts in the chicken broth. I deglazed the sauté pan and added those drippings to the saucepan. My sauce was beautiful and thick until I added the peas. Then it thinned out. I think the peas were still a little frozen, a mistake I won't repeat. I fixed the sauce with a little cornstarch slurry, no problem there. Still, it was too light on flavor. I added about 2 TBLS poultry seasoning and a teaspoon of chicken bouillon. Then it was perfect. So, 4 stars, because it needs a flavor boost. Easy to make and great for a cold winter night.

Great simple comfort food recipe. Needed to use up some chicken breast and this was a quick and tasty meal for a cold day! Changed a few things; I boiled my chicken in chicken broth, chicken boullion cube and two sliced carrots for 20 minutes. Then sauted onion and 3 galic cloves with the butter before adding flour. I also added poultry seasoning and thyme like others did to my flour. I did not have cream only used 2% milk. Was good but the cream gives it a sweeter taste which I like. Absolutly going to make this all winter long!!

This was perfect for a fast supper before soccer! I seasoned the chicken and cooked it in olive oil with fresh garlic. I used half and half and fresh chicken broth. I added lots of frozen mixed veggies and used some seasoned salt from Penzey's for extra flavor. I will make this again.

Skipped the almonds and added some sauteed finely diced celery and onion for personal preference. It was WONDERFUL! It's a keeper!

Family loved this recipe. I am a veg who cooks for the fam and I look for recipes I can tell will please without having to taste along the way. I made some changes; some were mine, and most (as always) followed suggestions of the other reviewers. I added 1 envelope sodium free boullion to water as I boiled the chicken during preparation. Doubled all spices. Used seasoned salt instead of regular. Used fat free half and half instead of heavy cream and no one missed it! No almonds. Used 1 cup frozen corn, 1 cup frozen corn and 2 stalks fresh chopped celery. Used 1/2 envelope sodium free chicken boullion. Used 1/4 tsp cayenne. Used 1/2 tsp basil. Kids said dinner was not spicy enough to even need to take a drink of milk and that it was perfect. I ended up adding somewhere around an extra TBSP cornstarch in some cold water at the very end to thicken for family preference and serving over jumbo store bought biscuits. DH and kids loved this. This will become a family favorite, and that's really hard to find for my house :-). Thanks for original posting, Sal!

Excellent! I made this into a casserole by baking biscuits on top (baked the creamed chicken in the oven at 350 for 20 mins until bubbly, then dropped balls of biscuit dough on top and baked for another 15 mins). I had whole milk on hand, so I substituted it for heavy cream. I doubled the garlic powder and black pepper and added basil and a few dashes of cayenne pepper for flavor (no spiciness could be detected). I used a peas/carrot mix and added some corn. Totally fattening, but rave reviews from my family!

I will definitely make it again. Since there are only two of us,so I cut most recipes in half plus we often want something easy and quick. Therefore, I used a 12.5 oz can of chicken breast, sauteed some onion and celery in the butter and used half of everything else! Since heavy cream is generally not on hand, I keep Crema on my pantry shelf. We had enough for lunch the next day.

Really enjoyed this! Very rich, will probably use half and half next time. I added more chicken broth, also sautéed mushrooms. Used Italian seasoning and garlic powder and pepper. Also a little cayenne pepper! Really good!

It's probably not fair to rate this with 5 stars because I didn't follow the recipe as I didn't have the ingredients on hand, so I made it with what I had. I replaced the cream with milk and before adding the flour I sauteed onion and celery in the butter, left out the garlic, (I love garlic but not in every single recipe) left out the almonds too, added some parsley as well and served it over rice with the peas on the side.

I used leftover baked chicken

Everyone at work loved it.

Flavor good but way too much liquid. I will use only 1 cup of broth instead of 2 cups. It was like skinny soup.

Did I miss something? Very bland, good consistency, but no flavor. I wasted my good almonds. Could not find a way to make this good, Sorry.

Made this today for my granddaughter and myself. It was delicious! We both loved it!

I used poultry seasoning on chicken when baking it. Instead of peas, I used broccoli and mushrooms and a little onion.

Cut recipe in half for the two of us. Simple easy delicious.

Really good down home taste. I love the simple old recipes. Wouldn't change a thing. I like recipes that don't call for canned soups so I can control the amount of sodium. Thank you.

My mother made this in the 50s. I used chicken legs for more flavor, and they were marked down at the grocery. I used one clove of fresh garlic, crushed. I didn't have peas, but had a can of mixed veggies left over from lockdown. I rarely use anything canned. I did not add cream or half and half, as someone suggested, because the gravy was rich and tasty without it. I will use less butter next time as someone suggested. This was great!
