- 3 green onions thinly sliced
- 2 clove garlic minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp Poultry Magic or Rotisserie Chicken seasoning
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 cup low sodium chicken broth or stock

- 3 cups roasted chicken roughly chopped
- 1 10 oz package frozen mixed vegetable steamed and drained
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh tarragon (or 1 tsp dried)
- Biscuits:
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 Tbsp chopped chives
- 1 1/2-2 cups whole buttermilk or heavy cream
- 1 Tbsp melted butter to brush the tops
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. On the stovetop in a 10-inch cast iron skillet or oven safe skillet, melt the butter. Add the green onion and minced garlic and cook over medium-high for 1-2 minutes until softened.
- Lower the heat to medium, sprinkle 1/4 cup all purpose flour over the butter. Add the poultry seasoning, salt and black pepper to your taste. Stir until the butter is absorbed.
- Whisk in the chicken broth and half and half. Simmer until thickened around 3-5 minutes.
- Add the chopped chicken, steamed mixed vegetables and chopped tarragon. Stir until evenly combined.
- For the biscuits, in a medium mixing bowl, mix together the self-rising flour, Parmesan cheese, and chives. Add 1 1/2 cup heavy cream or whole buttermilk, adding additional as needed to form a soft dough.
- Use a 2 ounce ice cream scoop to form the biscuit topping. Space evenly on top. Brush the tops with additional cream or melted butter.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until bubbly and the biscuits are cooked through. Broil if needed to brown the tops further at the end of baking.
Notes
-
- Poultry Seasoning: The poultry seasoning used in this recipe is called Poultry Magic. It's readily available on the spice aisle of most grocery stores even places like Walmart. You can certainly adapt using your favorite brand of chicken or poultry seasoning. Keep in mind that the amount of sodium can vary from brand to brand so adjust the amount to your taste.
- Homemade Self Rising Flour: The biscuit dumplings in this recipe are made with self rising flour which already has leavening and salt added. You can swap it out and use the same amount of all purpose flour adding 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Vegetables: You can adapt the mixed vegetables to suit your personal taste. Add sautéed celery or use frozen peas and carrots in place of mixed vegetables.
- Chives: You could use finely chopped green onions in place of chives for the biscuit dough.
