Ingredients

  • 8 large biscuits* baked
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 12 oz cooked shredded chicken (can also use cubed)
  • 1 cup frozen sweet peas
  • 1 (2 oz) jar diced pimientos, drained
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add the mushrooms and cook until softened and browned.  Remove to a plate and wipe the skillet clean.
  2. Return the skillet to the stove and place over medium-low heat.  Add the butter and melt.  Add the flour and stir, cooking for about 1 minute.  Slowly add the broth and the milk, whisking constantly.  Continue to cook until the mixture boils and thickens.  Once thickened, stir in the chicken, peas, mushrooms and pimientos.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Simmer for 5-10 minutes, until thoroughly heated.
  3. To serve, split the biscuits in half and place on serving plates.  Spoon the hot chicken mixture over the biscuits.

Notes

  • *I will often make this using homemade biscuits, but to save time, I will also use the large refrigerated flaky biscuits (like these from Pillsbury).
