Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 whole (6 split) chicken breasts, bone in, skin on
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
2 chicken bouillon cubes
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 cups chopped yellow onions (2 onions)
3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 cups medium-diced carrots (4 carrots), blanched for 2 minutes
1 10-ounce package frozen peas (2 cups)
1 1/2 cups frozen small whole onions
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 pound (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, diced
3/4 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan and rub them with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until cooked through. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then remove the meat from the bones and discard the skin. Cut the chicken into large dice. You will have 4 to 6 cups of cubed chicken.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the chicken stock and dissolve the bouillon cubes in the stock. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter and saute the onions over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until translucent. Add the flour and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the hot chicken stock to the sauce. Simmer over low heat for 1 more minute, stirring, until thick. Add 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and the heavy cream. Add the cubed chicken, carrots, peas, onions, and parsley. Mix well. Place the stew in a 10 x 13 x 2-inch oval or rectangular baking dish. Place the baking dish on a sheet pan lined with parchment or wax paper. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the biscuits. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the butter is the size of peas. Add the half-and-half and combine on low speed. Mix in the parsley. Dump the dough out on a well-floured board and, with a rolling pin, roll out to 3/8-inch thick. Cut out twelve circles with a 2 1/2-inch round cutter.
  • Remove the stew from the oven and arrange the biscuits on top of the filling. Brush them with egg wash, and return the dish to the oven. Bake for another 20 to 30 minutes, until the biscuits are brown and the stew is bubbly.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 tablespoons olive oil
1 leek, washed and chopped
Salt and pepper
2 cups quartered button mushrooms
2 cups chicken stock
1 medium carrot, chopped
8 ounces boneless chicken thighs or breasts, diced
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
2 cups chopped asparagus
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
Zest of 1 lemon
4 tablespoons butter, cut into bits
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400. Put 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the leek and a sprinkle of salt and pepper; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, and cook until their liquid has released and evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the stock, and bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, and add the carrots and chicken; cook until the chicken is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the peas and asparagus. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of the broth until smooth; add to the pot, and stir until the liquid thickens a bit. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Put the flour, baking powder, baking soda, rosemary, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a food processor. Add the butter and remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, and pulse until the mixture looks like small peas. Add the buttermilk and eggs, and pulse until just combined (the batter should be sticky).
  • Spread about half of the batter over the stew, leaving a few gaps for steam to escape. Spoon the remaining batter into an ovenproof skillet or baking dish. Bake the stew until golden and bubbly, about 25 minutes, and the extra batter until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Scoop the stew and crust into bowls, adding in extra pieces of biscuit as desired.
