For the 3rd take "dish" day, we decided on the Chuck Wagon theme. So we all had to come up with dishes that might have been made back in the old west. What a hoot. In attendance was Blaze.Tess, Duke, Kitty, Slim, Dale, Rowdy and Annie!
This was a Blaze and Tess dish - Excellent if I say so myself!
1 1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup red and/or green peppers cut into strips
1 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup corn (frozen is fine)
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 t salt
1/4 t pepper and paprika (each)
3 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup half and half (or cream)
3 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 T lemon juice
1 recipe sage biscuits (see below)
In a 10 inch oven going frying pan cook all the vegetables in 1 T butter until tender. Remove the vegetables from the pan. Melt the remaining butter, stir in flour and seasonings. Add chicken broth and milk; cook and stir until mixture boils and thickens. Stir in the chicken, vegetables and lemon juice. Keep hot in the pan. Prepare biscuits as directed below and place wedges on hot chicken mixture.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 35-45 minutes or until biscuits are done.
Sage biscuits
