By á-70803

Ingredients

• 2 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
• 1 Cup Buttermilk Biscuit Mix
• 4 Ounces Cremini Mushrooms
• 1 Carrot
• 1 Stalk Celery
• 1/2 Pound Purple Top Turnip
• 1 Bunch Sage
• 3 Tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
• 2 Tablespoons Chicken Demi-Glace
• 2 Tablespoons Crème Fraîche

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium pot, combine the chicken, a big pinch of salt and enough water to cover the chicken by 2 inches; heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, remove from heat and cover with a lid or foil. Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Thoroughly drain the poached chicken and transfer to a cutting board. Using 2 forks, carefully shred into bite-sized pieces.

While the chicken poaches, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel and medium dice the turnip. Cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the celery crosswise. Peel the carrot and thinly slice into rounds. Pick the sage leaves off the stems; discard the stems and thinly slice the leaves.

While the chicken continues to poach, in a large pot, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes, or until browned. Add the carrot, celery and turnip; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes, or until tender.

Add the flour and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pot of vegetables; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the flour is golden. Add the crème fraîche, demi-glace, half the sage and 1½ cups of water; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 3 to 5 minutes, or until the liquid has thickened. Stir in the shredded chicken; season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly combined and heated through. Transfer to a baking dish.

While the filling cooks, in a medium bowl, combine the biscuit mix and remaining sage; season with salt and pepper. Gradually stir in ⅓ cup of cold water until just combined.

Using a spoon, top the baking dish of filling with equal-sized scoops of the biscuit batter, leaving some space between the scoops. Place the baking dish on a sheet pan and bake 12 to 14 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven. Let stand for at least 2 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
