Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  2. 1/2 cup butter
  3. 1 cup heavy cream
  4. 1/4 cup flour
  5. Salt to taste
  6. Pepper to taste
  7. 6 biscuits

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it becomes golden and fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle flour into the melted butter, whisking continuously to create a smooth roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
  4. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth.
  5. Add shredded chicken to the cream sauce, stirring to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Split the biscuits in half and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Spoon the creamy chicken mixture generously over each biscuit half.
  8. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set slightly.
  10. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives if desired, and serve hot.

Tips

  1. Use high-quality, freshly cooked chicken for the best flavor and texture.
  2. When making the roux, whisk continuously to prevent burning and ensure a smooth sauce.
  3. For extra richness, consider using homemade or buttermilk biscuits instead of store-bought.
  4. Don't rush the cream sauce - letting it simmer helps develop deeper flavors.
  5. For a golden, crispy top, brush the biscuits with melted butter before baking.
  6. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow the sauce to set and flavors to meld.
  7. Fresh herbs like parsley or chives can add a bright, fresh finish to the dish.
  8. If the sauce is too thick, thin it with a little chicken broth; if too thin, continue simmering.
