melcenaSome of y'all know that I go through these phases where I desperately want comfort food. I've hit one of those today and I have a couple of really good EASY recipes to share! :-D You know, just in case anybody else wants some chicken and gravy with fresh biscuits.
The E-Z Drop Biscuits* are 157 calories a piece and you can whip them up in no time flat. They really hit the spot when you are craving biscuit-y goodness.
What will take quite a bit longer is the chicken and gravy. Prep time is super quick, haul out the crock-pot and toss in about 2 lbs of boneless skinless chicken breasts. Rip open a package of dry Italian dressing mix and sprinkle it over the chicken. Pour in about 2 cups of chicken stock (warm water with chicken bouillon will do!) . Then turn it on low for 8-10 hours. (Super Easy Chicken, Fix-It and Forget-It Lightly - 160 cals per serving)
When it's done pull out the chicken and whisk in enough flour to thicken up the stock and juices into gravy. (One serving of gravy is 40 cals, but I usually use twice that, because GRAVY.)
I like to cut my chicken up and drown it in gravy, and then dip the biscuit in. Very filling! :-D
*American biscuits - NOT BRITISH. Despite having 2 tsp of sugar these are not sweets!
