  • Heat oil in Dutch oven (or a nice big pt that you have a lid for) on medium high heat, add cubed chicken and garlic. Stir; cooking until chicken is white.
  • Add broth, bouillon, salt, pepper, bay leaf, and fresh vegetables to create a stew. Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat on stew; simmer on low, covered, 30 minutes, or until chicken and vegetables are tender.
  • While stew simmers, open biscuits and set out on a plate (to rise) or make your own biscuits.
  • In separate container, mix flour and milk. After 30 minutes of simmering, remove bay leaf from broth, then whisk flour and milk into broth on stove. Stir well.
  • Add biscuits to top of stew. Cover and continue cooking on low heat 15 minutes.
  • Let stand a few minutes before serving.
  • VARIATION: Make homemade or Biquick biscuits instead of canned.
