Instructions
- Preheat oven according to package directions for biscuits. Arrange biscuits on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with a little ground cayenne pepper or sweet paprika. Bake in the preheated oven until golden, then remove and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan bring chicken stock, wine, bay leaf, and peppercorns to a boil. Gently slide in chicken breasts, reduce heat to medium, and let them simmer until cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- While chicken is cooking, add butter and oil to a large skillet set over medium heat. Once melted, add mushrooms and onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and season with kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper. Let cook for another minute.
- Pull chicken from the cooking liquid and set onto a cutting board to cool slightly. Meanwhile, ladle the hot cooking liquid into the mushroom mixture, stirring and letting it reduce a bit after each addition, being sure not to add the bay leaf or whole peppercorns to the mixture.
- Add the diced pimentos and peas to the sauce. Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces, add it to the bubbling sauce and let it heat through, stirring as needed.
- Split the biscuits in half. Place 2 biscuit bottoms on each plate, top with a few ladlefuls of the chicken mixture, then cap with biscuit tops. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and enjoy!
Notes
- Feel free to substitute jarred roasted red peppers for the pimentos.
- If the poaching liquid doesn't fully cover the chicken, flip the pieces over occasionally to make sure they cook fully.
- You can check the internal temperature of the chicken for doneness (165°F) with an instant-read thermometer.
