Best Nancys Yummy Chicken Recipes

CREAMY CHICKEN AND GNOCCHI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook gnocchi according to package instructions; drain well. Season chicken with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 4-5 minutes per side; set aside. Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Add shallot, and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in garlic and thyme until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and wine, and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in half and half until thickened, about 1-2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in gnocchi and kale until the kale has wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet; sprinkle with Parmesan. Place into oven and bake until bubbly, about 10-12 minutes. Serve immediately.

GRANDMA NANCY'S CHICKEN AND BISCUITS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• 2. In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry blender or knife, cut butter into mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• 3. Stir in the milk a little at a time until a soft dough forms. Drop the dough onto a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet (you should get about 6 biscuits). Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until light golden brown. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire cooling rack.
• 4. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine 2 c. broth, carrots & celery. Heat on high, just until mixture comes to a boil and vegetables start to get tender.
• 5. Add the remaining broth and chicken and bring the mixture back up to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and allow it to simmer for 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
• 6. Remove the chicken from the pan and place it on a plate. Use two forks to pull it apart into bite-sized pieces. Set aside momentarily.
• 7. Meanwhile, whisk the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl until thoroughly combined. Add mixture to the hot broth and whisk continuously over medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Add the chicken back to the saucepan and stir well.
• 8. To serve, split a biscuit horizontally and place it on a serving plate. Spoon a generous amount of chicken & gravy over the biscuits. Serve with mashed potatoes if desired.
