tasty Chicken and biscuits
This always a favorite . The love the smell of biscuits baking. The whole meal takes about an hour to fix, with children style interruptions.
4 chicken breasts
4 medium carrots diced
2 green bell peppers
4 cups of milk
2 cups water
1 tsp garlic
½ lb chopped bacon
1 large onion chopped
2 tablespoon soy sauce
Salt & pepper to taste
Gently cook the chicken in the water. Add garlic powder and salt
Cook over low heat.
Remove chicken after 30 minutes of gentle simmering
Once chicken has cooled, shred the meat (I used clean fingers) season with soy sauce.
Put carrots in pan to cook.
In separate pan, crisp bacon—remove from pan
Caramelize onions in bacon grease
Add chopped bell pepper to onions
Cook until most of the liquid evaporates
Add ½ cup flour; cook for 2 to 3 minutes do not brown
Add milk heat gently till thickened
Add vegetables and sauce to pot with cooked carrots
Add shredded chicken
If not thickened to desired consistency add more flour (make a flour and water paste – add some sauce to it and pour it back into pot)
Serve over homemade biscuits
