Obama is ahead, but the door may be open for Romney. I have a feeling that much money will be spent during this election.
OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMEBODY Old-Fashioned Chicken and Biscuits
Makes 6 servings
Leftover chicken means an opportunity to make a down-home dinner that delights everybody.
8 oz. mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 shallots, chopped
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1-1/4 cups flour, divided
2-1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup white wine
1 cup heavy cream
3 cups chopped cooked chicken
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. each salt, cream of tartar and sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1/3 cup milk
Heat oil in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook 2 minutes without stirring, then cook and stir 2 minutes, adding garlic during last minute. Add shallots and pepper; cook and stir 2 minutes or until shallots and mushrooms are tender.
Add 1/4 cup flour; cook and stir 1 minute. Whisk in broth, wine and cream. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 4 minutes or until thickened. Stir in meat. Pour into greased 11x7-inch baking dish (or 1-1/2 qt casserole dish).
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Sift remaining 1 cup flour, baking powder, salt, cream of tartar and sugar in medium bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk; stir with fork or spatula until soft dough forms.
Place dough on lightly floured surface; knead 8 to 10 times or until smooth. Pat dough into 6-inch square. Cut evenly into 6 pieces. Place on top of chicken mixture.
Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until biscuits are lightly browned and casserole is bubbly.
Tip:
I used a rotisserie chicken, purchased at the supermarket, to make this. Just remove the skin and pull the meat off of the bones. Most rotisserie chickens have between 3 and 4 cups of meat, and it's OK if there's a little more meat.
