FFwD: saint-germain-des-pres onion biscuits

I love biscuits and being from the South, I could quit happily have eaten these with some cream gravy and nothing else.  But, being a good Mom and wife I thought I should put together something a little more substantial for dinner :)

I remembered a Barefoot Contessa recipe for a Chicken Stew with Biscuits in her Family Style cookbook.  Substituted Dories onion biscuits for Ina's... complete meal!

One of my favorite dishes my Grandma made was chicken & dumplings, husband doesn't like dumplings so I never make it.  I've found my solution, chicken & biscuits!  Since I baked mine in my chicken stew I'll have to rely on all the other Dorie bloggers to see what the texture was like baked on a sheet pan.  In the stew, they were perfect, soft, full of flavor and totally reminded me of good old-fashioned chicken & dumplings.

Happy Friday!

    1. I use to make a Rachel Ray chicken pot pie with tin biscuits for a quick meal. Definitely, go with BCs chicken stew from now on, it was delicious!

  8. What a great way to use the biscuits. I'm sure the onion-y flavor went really well with the stew. I'm going to lave to try this.
