There are so many comfort foods but one of my favorites is creamed chicken on biscuits. Chicken in a cream sauce with onions and mushrooms on top of flaky buttermilk biscuits is a filling meal that is economical and tasty.

To make this dish faster, a rotisserie chicken can be used along with biscuits from the freezer section of your local grocery. The roasted chicken and buttermilk recipes are included for the cook who wants the ultimate comfort food dish.

Directions

Roast the chicken breasts using the Barefoot Contessa’s method. Sprinkle olive oil on both sides of the chicken and salt and pepper generously.

In a large saucepan, melt the butter and add the onion. (Photo C) Sauté until the onions are tender and translucent. Add the flour and stir for at least 1 minute. Gradually add the chicken broth and half and half. (Photo D) Continue to stir the mixture until thickened and bubbly.
