- This Creamy Chicken Stew With Biscuits is the PERFECT Comfort Food!
Chicken and biscuits, with a white sauce gravy - on the table in no time! This one pot dinner is a snap to make, and there will be no leftovers. It's like a biscuit topped chicken pot pie, or a chicken and biscuits with white gravy.
Ingredients:
Biscuits
500 mL (2 cups) all-purpose flour
10 mL (2 tsp) baking powder
5 mL (1 tsp) salt
375 mL (1½ cups) 35% cream
Stew
Oil for frying
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut up
1 onion, minced
1 rib celery, sliced thin
30 mL (2 Tbsp) butter
60 mL (¼ cup) flour
125 mL (½ cup) white wine
500 mL (2 cups) chicken broth (2-3 cups works)
Salt and pepper to taste
10 mL (2 tsp) minced fresh thyme leaves
10 mL (2 tsp) summer savoury
5 mL (1 tsp) tarragon
Handful of cauliflower and broccoli florets
125 mL (½ cup) 35% cream
675 mL (3 cups) frozen mixed vegetables
Method:
First the biscuits: pre heat the oven to 230ºC (450ºF).
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Stir in the cream just until a dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead 5-6 times just until smooth.
Form into a 3/4”-thick round and cut into 8 wedges using a pizza cutter.
Cook the biscuits on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, until golden brown. 15 - 20 minutes.
While the biscuits are baking… Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a pan over medium high.
Brown the chicken, cooking 70% of the way through.
Transfer the chicken out of the pan and add the onion, and celery; cooking until the onion is softened.
Melt in the butter and then stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly for about 1 minute.
Pour in the wine and scrape up the fond.
Slowly whisk in the broth, herbs, cauliflower, and broccoli; bring to a simmer.
Return the chicken to the pan, stir in the cream; cover then cook over medium heat until chicken is cooked through
Pour in the frozen vegetables and simmer until heated through.
Place the cooked biscuits on top just before serving.

I will never get tired of Julie's delight at what has been made, and Glen's happy dance! You guys are great. Love the channel. 🌞
I love to see Glenn's happy dance when something turns out well.
Me too.
Me three.
We always called it "stoup", too thick to be soup and too thin to be stew. Totally agree that it's one of those "Why don't I make this more often" type meals. Thanks for the reminder. :D
You know it is a hit when Glen does his happy dance.
i, for one, am glad you remembered this dish.
Recipe is a keeper ♥ nothing tastes better then rediscovering one of your classic comfort food meals that you haven't had for awhile! Leftover rotisserie chicken in the fridge will be tonight's Creamy Chicken Stew with Biscuits - thanks Glen for the perfect timing!!!
People always ask me for my recipe for my chicken and noodles/casserole/dumplings/pot pie and I always tell them I don’t have one. I use the same basic ‘recipe’ and just adjust the chicken broth to change how thick it is. It is such a yummy comfort food for the cooler months of the year.
I remember my mom making a similar chicken pot pie with a Bisquick biscuit top. I'm with Julie - the best part is where the biscuits meet the stew and it's all gooey. I can still see Mom putting it on the table in her huge white Corning cornflower casserole dish and the smell in my memory gets my mouth watering. I've never made this though, don't know why. I should.
It’s frigidly cold and going to make this. This channel is making me look like a gourmet rockstar. My family is going to enjoy this. Surprised at how easy this is. By the way, my kids surprised me by making the easy pot roast. It was really nice to come home to dinner. Thanks Glen!
How wonderful is that! There's nothing better than a dinner made with love 💗
Sometimes you just need an old friend. Looks yummy! Thanks.
ATK has a cream biscuit method where you warm the cream to like 80-90F before adding it to flour. Mixes a lot easier with less total cream. Biscuits turn out awesome. :)
What is ATK please?
@@catherinekhalili4412 America's Test Kitchen I believe
@@aarong.4691 thank you!!
Looks delicious, I'd just add carrots for more colors, plus it's carrots and I love carrots.
I absolutely love when Glen breaks out in his happy dance. You KNOW it's good.
Glenns dancin and not talking so you know its yummy. 😋
“It will be fine. It will be just fine.” I love the basic attitude that assures that a variation caused by whatever is not the end of the world.
Looks very good . 20° here this morning!!!
Red face and dancing..... has to be wonderful. Does my heart good to see such happiness. thank you Glen.
I love how the biscuit shows how the layers of dough created while kneading and have created a kind of laminated structure.
I love a creamy chicken stew! It's my winter go to!
I used to take biscuits and bake them on top of the stew to make this type of thing! Love those flavors. I would add the celery (which you mentioned) along with carrots and garlic (because who doesn’t love garlic?) and make sure the sauce is super thick so the biscuits don’t sink. I might have to do that this week now that I’m thinking about it…
More kinds of veg...as you suggest...is good!
Glen's happy dance says it all!!
Can't go wrong with that base stew and cream biscuits. I've cooked it as dumplings, biscuits on the side and baked on top. It's fantastic any of those ways, and I do a happy bounce every time, too. 😁
When I was a kid my mother, who rarely made frozen dinners, would sometimes make Banquet Chicken & Dumplings. It was actually just topped with biscuits & when it came out of the oven the top was brown but the bottom of the biscuit was soaked with chicken goodness (so I know what Julie was eluding to). It was my favorite of the frozen dinners. As an adult I've looked for it but they mustn't make it anymore.
Needs carrots 😊 Mom used to make this at least every couple of weeks. Sort of drop biscuits but in a hot oven so they browned on top but were nice and fluffy on the bottom.
I live for Glen's silent Happy Dance!
Thank you, Merry Christmas. God Bless and stay safe.
It's great to see Glenn's Satisfaction Boogie. The dance speaks louder than words. Nice one.
I love that this channel always features budget friendly, home-style foods.
These are foods I grew up on, and still cook in my home today. But Glen & Julie always have an interesting spin, something I can't wait to try!
Thanks for always keeping it fun!
Recently made this with leftover turkey, and with fluffy dumplings instead of biscuits. It's delicious!
It looks delicious! I dry celery every summer to use in soups during the winter. It’s easier to keep, and I always have it that way.
Any comfort food is what hubby and I like! Thank you so much for sharing! ♥
I have somehow convinced myself over the years I do not like anything except chicken breast but I keep watching more of Glen making amazing recipes with chicken thigh I'm going to finally buy some and make this. Thanks Glen.
Freezing rain today, looks like just the thing to shake off the chill. Yum, thank you Glen.
lol...yup, can tell when y'all really like something...no discussion left...just eatin'! glen's dancing...julie's smilin' and divin' in...love it! looks like great yum-e comfort food! 😋😁
I do this with dumplings, I go a little thicker with the sauce. Grand eats!
Oh yes ! Beautiful and yummy
Glen dancing always entices me to make that dish ASAP.
YES: that IS comfort food!
My 37 year old son grew up hating tradtional pot pie. But he will eat it with biscuits like this.
Looks yummy! And, for once, Julie seem happy with the amount of veg!
I just ate breakfast, but you made me hungry again. It's stewp. The happy Glen dance!
I got one of those dishes, it's a shrimp and carrot soup that is incredible
That’s an interesting combo.
I once found a chinese recipe for shrimp and spinach. Turned out really well. See, if I can find it (it's been years).
Found it! Hope you can see it:

Chicken thighs are so much better than breast in a soup or stew. I think I might make this when my parents and mother in law all visit over the holidays.
I love these kind of cooking shows it has nostalgic elements but I can’t explain why.
Glen has nothing to say… now that means it’s delicious!👍
Wondra also works really well as a thickener.
Yes, my mom made this too with the biscuits cooked on top. It was always a hit, especially on a chilly day.
I make a mildly curried chicken pot pie with cranberries, cauliflower, pearled onions, carrots, celery, shallots, peas and potatoes that’s a big hit with my wife. I haven’t made it in years- now I’m inspired to make it again!
My solution to no celery in the fridge is a pinch of celery seed from the spice drawer 🙂
I call that "chicken pot pie stuff" in my house. Sometimes over biscuits, sometimes over rice.
Doing the same with the skin and bones, when buying thighs. I even store peels and cut-off of veggie in the freezer. Just made a chicken soup, cooking the chicken in those peels. After peeling the meat off the chicken, I put the bones back in and added those saved bones, cooking it for another hour. This soup is so rich, it's jelly at room temp.
The meat has absorbed all the taste from the veg. Yet, it's not overpowering.
My mother used to make this, but used a tube of store bought biscuits. She made the stew, then put biscuits on top and baked. One of my Dad's favorites, not so much for me.
It is getting cold here too. I was just searching for a similar recipe and yours came up. Thank you for dinner suggestions
I keep an open bottle of vermouth in my fridge for adding a splash whenever white wine is called for. I don’t drink so i never have any wine open, but the vermouth lasts forever and works a treat!
I make drop dumplings with Yeast dough all the time.
Thanks for adding actual captions for the Deaf
I love gravy… this seems like a big bowl of gravy!!!! I could definitely enjoy this!!!
I made that day before yesterday!! Except that, for the first time, I used crescent roll dough as the top crust.
Love it when Glen is so pleased he's speechless.
Looks perfect for a cold wet day! And thank you for giving me confidence in adapting recipes to what I have in the frig!
Wonderful meal. My men said make it again. Thank you for this wonderful recipe.
That looks really good. You can never go wrong with chicken stew.
Really cold here in Orlando this morning 66°
Here in the Chicago burbs, 66° is tee shirt and shorts weather. It's 28° here this morning and frosty/foggy. I think I'll go back to bed! Hope you have a great day!🥰
Quit bragging
Really cold in South Louisiana, 72 ! 🤪
It's 74* here north of Houston.
You could make the dough while the soup is simmering, roll it out and cut it just like you did, then put it on top of the soup and put the whole thing in the oven to bake the dough. I bet it would come out like some kind of biscuit-dumpling-pot pie chimera.
Glen stepping away from the oven feels very “Oh hello, didn’t see you there”
I need to make this. I’m cooking for a toddler these days and need hearty easy to eat foods.
This looks so good! I like the dumpling idea r/t biscuits... though I love biscuits, too!
I just happen to have chicken thighs defrosting, and we are expecting the rain to return by 4pm.
Cheers from California, USA
Absolute yum.
Glen! Send that pepper fairy to my house! 😁
This looks amazing
I am so making this!
I learned to make chicken stew with dumplings in grade 8 home ec. LOVED it. My other favourite chicken stew is the one my mother made, with a tomato base and polenta. Going to made this! Thank you!
Tomato base and polenta: your Mom ROCKED!
@@jamesellsworth9673 It was sublime!!!
Creamy chicken stews are comfort food if the highest order. Just perfect when the weather is all chilly, and baking something in the oven has the added bonus of heating up the apartment a little bit extra 😅
(We're reaching a record high energy price right now in Sweden, as with a lot of Europe, so I'm not heating up a whole oven unless I'm getting proper value for it 😂)
Mmm....I'm adding chicken to my grocery list now! I think you could also make a pot of mashed potatoes or noodles to serve this over, if you didn't want biscuits or dumplings.
I make this about a dozen times a year during the colder weather. Only difference is I crumble the biscuit into spoon size pieces and mix them in. Good stuff
I used to make a lowbrow version of this in college with chicken breast, cream of chicken soup, frozen mixed veggies, and a top made from Bisquick. I think it was on the side of the Bisquick box. I felt like a legit chef pulling it out of the oven. I bet it's still good!
This inspired us and it was delicious! My happy dance might not be as nice as Glen's but I had a very happy tummy last night and will have one again when I reheat for lunch. The biscuits were over the top.
Wow, that was fast!😋
Great dish!!!
That looks so delicious! MmmMmm! So glad I watched. I'm always glad I watch your videos.
Love your channel. Keep it up.
When I was growing up, my mother made this (with the topping) and we called it Chicken Cobbler.
Yummy. That's my kind of food.
My grandmother would make rabbit stew in a large roaster and make a pastry to spread on top. She would put it in the oven to brown up. She called it stew and paste. If I remember correctly, she only put part of the stew in the roaster, and the rest of the stew was left in the pot.
I make the same thing but put drop biscuits on top and let cook in the oven..so good.
Thank you Glen! Made this tonight for New Years and it is amazing!
Only thing I'd change would be to add carrots for color. Especially if serving this for guests.
Yep. That's kinda perfect.
Ok is it odd? I'm watching this episode while eating your biscuits from an earlier show. But I might save some bicuits and make this for linner. (lunch/dinner). Great presentation
My mom had a similar dish.. chicken paprika.. creamy sauce but with drop biscuits in the last 20 minutes or so of cooking, with the lid on.
Would you care for sharing the recipe?
Glen had nothing to say. his face had already said it.
Noodles. THIS on noodles. My happy place.
It’s great if he dances
This is your second video that I've seen. You almost lost me when you pie cut your biscuitsather than hand rolling them, but to hear a Canadian say that he saved pork skins to make cracklins, well, I'll be watching you in the future. Seriously, you're easy to follow and from the looks of your other videos, well rounded. Cheers from Louisiana.
A dollop of Greek yogurt per bowl, maybe? Adds a tang AND more protein.
What about replacing the cream with pureed cottage cheese as well? Lots more protein.
I used to make something like this, from a chicken pot pie recipe. But on occasion I would want the pie crust taste so would make up a crust, have it in the freezer then cook the crust flat on parchment to make “crackers” or whatever you’d call crisp pie crust pieces. So many variations. Dry sherrry is good for brightening the flavors instead of white wine.
I haven't had chicken stew is so long. (When my grandmother was sick, one of my grandfathers friends made it for us... I don't remember what it was called - something specific...)
You could drop that dough in the stew and it becomes chicken and dumplings. Although we generally don't put as many vegetables in it.
♥️
I make something similar, except I make it with fried chicken that I take off the bones (great use for left over fried chicken), herb wise.... I also use 3 BAY LEAVES, they are REALLY GOOD with that broccoli. I do however, use carrots in mine and no celery. And potatoes in place of the corn, peas, and green beans
