Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds (680 g) dark meat chicken, no skin, but on the bone
- 1 quart (960 ml) water
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) chicken bouillon concentrate
- 1 pound (455 g) frozen vegetables
- 1 cup (70 g) sliced mushrooms 1 cup (240 ml) low-carb milk or half-and-half
- 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- guar or xanthan
- salt and pepper
- 1 batch Buttermilk Drop Biscuits
Method
- Put chicken in a big saucepan and add the water and chicken bouillon concentrate
- Cover it, turn the heat to low, and let the whole thing simmer for 60 to 90 minutes
- Fish the chicken out with a fork or tongs and set it on a plate until cool enough to handle
- In the meantime, add the California-blend vegetables and the sliced mushrooms to the broth-I actually cut mine up a little more, but you can leave everything in really big chunks if you prefer
- Let this simmer for 25 to 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender but not mushy
- While that’s happening, strip the chicken off the bones
- Discard the bones and cut the meat into bite-sized pieces
- Reserve
- When the vegetables are cooked, stir in the low-carb milk and poultry seasoning
- Thicken with guar or xanthan to make a rich gravy consistency
- Now add salt and pepper to taste and stir in the chicken
- Turn off the heat
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (240°C, or gas mark 9) and then make a batch of Buttermilk Drop Biscuit dough, stopping right before you add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients
- Spray a 2-quart 1 9-L casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray
- When the oven is up to temperature, turn the heat back on under the chicken and vegetable mixture and bring it back to a boil
- While that’s heating, stir the buttermilk into the biscuit dough
- Now, pour the boiling chicken mixture into the casserole dish and spoon the dough over the top
- Don’t worry about covering every single millimeter of the gravy with the dough; it’ll spread a bit
- Just spoon it on pretty evenly, and it’ll be fine
- Put it in the oven immediately and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden and then serve
