During the week, the last thing I feel like doing is making a big meal. I am wanting a dish that is filling and ready to go in less than an hour start to finish. That’s why my Creamed Chicken on Biscuits recipe is a must-try. If you are looking for a budget friendly meal that the whole family will love, this is it!
How to Make Easy Creamed Chicken on Biscuits
This easy dinner recipe is full of succulent chicken, savory vegetables, and creamy goodness. And with the addition of the biscuits, it’s a complete meal.
I love creating recipes that have a variety of components, but go together quickly, like my Stuffed Chicken Breast with Stuffing or my Asparagus Stuffed Chicken Breast. Another family favorite is my Homemade Chicken Strips.
I love finding classic recipes in cookbooks. I’m still old school and at times, I would rather go through a cookbook then look on the internet for a recipe. Growing up our cookbooks rarely had photos as many where cookbooks made by home cooks. Don’t get me wrong, the internet is fantastic for finding recipes; especially with all of the photos, however, sometimes it’s fun to pull out a cookbook and discover new recipes.
This recipe is an adaptation from a recipe I found for Creamed Chicken in Biscuit Bowls in the Southern Living Party Cookbook. If you love Southern Living magazines and cookbooks, then definitely pick this one up!
