Today I bring you one of our favorite meals. This Creamy Chicken and Biscuits is fantastic for several reasons:
1. It’s made in the crockpot, and you know how I love that!
2. It also involves warm from the oven biscuits, which is a form of bread, which is glorious.
3. It’s got chicken and vegetables and a creamy sauce; it’s pure comfort food!
This is one of those meals that my husband gets excited about when I make and he does a little dance as he eats it. For him it’s the biscuits. They’re pretty darn good. We’ve made them for Biscuits and Gravy before with great results.

Easy Homemade Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup whole milk
Instructions
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
Use your hands or two knives to work the butter into the flour until pea-size clumps form.
Add the milk and stir just until moistened.
Drop 6 mounds of dough onto a baking sheet.
Bake until golden, about 18-20 minutes.
Notes
I don't often have whole milk on-hand. But especially if I'm making the biscuits for the creamy chicken and biscuits, I have some heavy cream left and will use half cream and half low fat milk.
