Quick and Easy Creamy Chicken and Biscuits

May 29, 2015

There will never  be a day when I will turn down a quick and easy dinner recipe.  Don't get me wrong, I love spending hours in the kitchen like the next cook but realistically, that is not in cards for me on a daily basis.  Having a plethora of easy recipes to go to not only helps me get dinner on the table in a timely manner but also prevents me from resorting to take-out or the drive-thru.  Creamy chicken with broccoli and biscuits has become a new favorite.  This meal practically prepares itself so I can focus on doing other things.  I also appreciate the versatility, meaning I can use whatever vegetables I have on hand.
