I was totally in the mood for some comfort food yesterday. So when I found this Rachael Ray recipe for Chicken, Biscuits n' Gravy Casserole I was sold! Only thing is, hubby and I aren't huge fans of mushrooms - we'll eat them if we're out, but I rarely make it at home. I had to do some modifications! Instead of mushrooms I used potatoes and carrots.
INGREDIENTS
One medium to large rotisserie chicken
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the dish
2 small potatoes, chopped into small cubes
1 medium carrot, sliced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 cups baking mix, such as Bisquick
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1. Preheat the oven to 425°. Butter a large casserole dish. Pull the meat off the chicken, shredding it with your fingers or a fork into the baking dish.
2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and stir to coat. Cover and cook for 6 minutes. Melt another tablespoon of butter. Add the carrots, onion and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender are browned, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat to medium, sprinkle the flour into the skillet and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1/3 cup of the milk and simmer for 1 minute more. Remove the skillet from the heat, add the lemon juice, and add salt and pepper to taste. Pour the gravy over the chicken in the baking dish.
3. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter with the garlic.
4. Stir together the baking mix, the remaining 2/3 cup of milk and the cheese. Drop tablespoonfuls of the biscuit mixture on top of the casserole and brush with half of the garlic butter. Bake until the biscuits are golden brown, about 25 minutes, brushing them once or twice with the remaining garlic butter.

Post a Commentthat looks super yummy! i will be trying that come winter time!
Yeah! I couldn't wait that long!
it was a rainy day though right? thats perfect!
geesh I keep tomato soup on hand in case of a rainy day where i have a good excuse for tom soup and grilled cheese!
i have mac and cheese on hand for the same reason...
i ever thought if i opened a bakery the name would be something about emotional eating... like Drown Your Sorrows Bakery or something....
Oh that would be awesome Cab! You'd have some local nutritionists and dietitians up in arms though!!
My husband does not really like mac n' cheese (in fact, he doesn't like cheese all that much
) So we rarely eat it, BUT I love it so much! 
Love biscuits but not a big fan of gravy. It does look like something that would be total comfort food on a rainy cold day. Sy, I saw Trisha Yearwood's cookbook it might have some recipes you would like. I am still working on a lactose free mac & cheese recipe. I miss eating it.

I think the gravy part is misleading. It really isn't a "gravy" more of just tons of veggies and broth.
I need to go to B&N and check that one out Sam!
I will probably make some adjustments to the recipe (lactose thing) and try it when fall comes in. I saw her preparing some of the recipes on a TV special on CMT. They looked and sounded really good. There suppose to be family recipes and her family is from Georgia.

I was just reading a review from a baking group re: biscuits from the fast food chains. The top 2 were chicl-fil-a and then Hardee's.

Oh no! It's hands down popeye's biscuits. Best. Thing. Ever.
I agree. When I have a craving for fried chicken - I go there. But they were not in the poll. Maybe they are not considered big enough?

Maybe not! But back home in N.O. Popeyes is HUGE! In fact, we have this family rumor that my dad's cousin (danny) who owned/operated "Danny's Fried Chicken" had his fried chicken recipe stolen from him by good ole' al copeland who then went and made "Popeye's Fried Chicken" using his recipe.
Don't know if it's true, but it's a fun little story!
It probably how Copeland paid for his many divorces. He had a good NO restaurant in Myrtle Beach called Copelands but i closed

Oh yeah. They have tons of those in Louisiana. He also has them called "Cheesecake Bistro" YUM! (You know he recently died of cancer?)
No I did not know that. The last I heard he managed a divorce and a new marriage in the church. I do like his chicken ...ooops your cousin Danny's chicken. Can you share his recipe?

I don't have it!!
Maybe my grandma does!
Yeah. He got this really rare form of cancer and had gone to Germany to get a special new treatment -- it didn't work and he died like 3 months after his diagnosis. It was pretty tragic.
That's sad but which ever way he went - someone's eating good.
