I didn't think you could get such good flavor with parsley as the only herb, but it's wonderful! I cut the recipe in half since there are only two of us and it worked great. The biscuits are delicious on top and don't get soggy at all. It's also a perfectly seasoned dish. I used low sodium organic chicken broth and the chicken boullion as written and it wasn't too salty. Ina is the queen of making the most of simple ingredients. Try her jam thumbprint cookies. They are a holiday staple at my house.
Delicious!

Oh my..this was sooo good! I did add a little bit more broth as we like it not too thick. Taste was incredible! Definitely a keeper. Thanks Ina for another great recipe for my family. It made enough for me to split in two to give to another family whose Mom is immobile thanks to a broken leg. They loved it also.
So creamy

A great crowd pleaser for family or friends. I agree the whole onions are a bit too much onion. Still a great dish that will bring on memories of your mom's cooking!
Simple to make, delicious

This was so easy to make. I halved the recipe for a dinner party of 4, and wished I had made the whole thing. I roasted the chicken the night before, shredded it, and threw it in the fridge. I also used fresh peas and sliced baby carrots, as I had them on hand. Like many others, I cheated and bought refrigerated biscuits, which I sprinkled with the chopped parsley and then brushed with egg. I didn't have the soggy biscuit problem that others did, but my stew was pretty thick. If you've made this before and it was too runny, cut the amount of broth you add to your roux (the flour and butter part). I also made the summer berry pudding to go with this. I had zero leftovers!
GREAT RECIPE

Had this one last nite .. my husband loved it!! & so did I. The aroma throughout the house was wonderful. Did just a few changes/additions ... Didn't have chicken breasts so cooked about 10-11 chicken legs... added 1 cubed russet potato with carrots when blanching .. added mushrooms just before adding flour to butter, onion/celery (oh .. added chopped celery to onions & butter). Then while mixture was cooking on stove top I added 2 small fresh bay leaves. Other than that everything was status quo to recipe. Next time will do as others suggested & buy a cooked chicken. You just have to try this one .. it is a keeper

I really enjoyed this stew, but did a few things differently. Make sure you measure your ingrediants. My large onion was 2 cups when chopped. I also had to thicken the stock a few minutes longer than the recipe calls for on a higher temp than low. I did not add the pearl onions, there's no way my son would eat it. Instead a added some frozen corn. Don't skimp on the salt, you'll need it for the flavor.

I prepared this tonight as a winter comfort food when my sister and her husband were here for dinner. I cooked the chicken yesterday, then prepared the recipe earlier today, keeping the biscuits separate until the baking time, as suggested. The only change I made was to replace the frozen onions with a jar of whole onions as they weren't available at the store. I wouldn't leave them out - they were very tasty. Other than that I followed the recipe completely and we all enjoyed it very much. Thank you!

This came out great. Just a few things I will do different next time. The carrots were blanched for 2 minutes, but were a little hard still. Next time I will blanch them longer or just use the pea/carrot frozen mixture. The pearl onions were a little too firm for my DH so I will cook them a little first. The last thing is that I thought the sauce was a little too thick (it was the consistency of mashed potatoes), so next time I'll use more stock or less flour. Still great, though.
yummy for the tummy!

I made the stew. I did add a bit of fresh grated nutmeg as this was a cream sauce. I also did not make the biscuits. Instead, I heated up the stew and served over Pepperidge Farm puff pastry shells. This was wonderful flavor and, as usual, up to the high standards of Ina's recipes. Thanks Ina.

I made this from start to finish in 2.5 hours. The end result is great. Very rich and filling, and tasty! I might eliminate the pearl onions next time as it already has onions. I used store-bought chicken stock, and half & half instead of cream. You could save time by using ready biscuits, although the fresh parsley is key here. I may try this again when I have leftover chicken instead of roasting them, to save time. All in all, it was worth it and I'll make it again.
Very tasty!

this recipe is phenomenal. i have the family-style cookbook of hers which is where i found this originally. there are a lot of steps to this, so the first time it can feel a bit overwhelming, but it is definitely worth it! i make this all winter long. i always use the frozen pea/carrot mixture as a time savor. don't skip the fresh parsley. the flavor isn't the same without it. i never use homemade stock though and it still comes out great. the homemade biscuits are worth it. LOVE THIS! thanks ina!

This dish was so worth the time consuming prep. I would recommend cutting in half if you have less that 5-6 adults. We had it for lunch as leftovers twice that week. I did use fridge ready biscuits and encountered the soggy problem, but I then just popped them in the oven seperate & they were great. Def not a quick weekend dinner, but a keeper in my book.

If I could give this dish more than 10, I would! My family LOVED this and not a morsel was left. In fact, I should have made more because everyone went back for seconds. It was a little time consuming and messy, but I will be making this weekly. Slight changes - I added potatoes and celery, and subsituted the parsely in the biscuits for finely chopped scallions. Ina is the ultimate in my book - when I try a new recipe, my husband asks "is this Barefoot Contessa?" because if I say yes, he KNOWS it doesn't get any better.

Made this last night and loved it! Made a few additions though. Added celery in with the onions with a bay leaf and put a big splash (maybe 1/4 cup) of Cognac in right before the stock.

This was such a wonderful recipe. My 12-year old made the biscuits it was such an easy recipe. I think the next time I would just poach the chicken breasts as opposed to baking the chicken, and the gravy was a bit thick, so I'd add a bit more broth, but the flavor was so wonderful. We will definitely be having this again and again!

It is difficult to find a recipe that everyone will like. This one was a hit with family and friends for days. I cannot decide which was better, the flakey crust like biscuits or the fact that it tastes even better after it has been in the fridge for a few days.
Very bland
04/09/2007 at 12:00am
User: Dena from Brooklyn, NY User Rating:
I found this stew to be quite bland and only after it was cooked and served did it dawn on me that the recipe uses almost no seasonings except salt & pepper. In retrospect I think it would have benefited greatly from a little fresh thyme or maybe some rosemary. Also, the chicken was skimpy. In the future I'll add the meat of at least one more full breast. It's a great recipe to use as a kick-start, but definitely needs some additions (celery? mushrooms? oregano?).
Yummy

Saw the recipe when I was home from work sick, and it seemed like the perfect comfort food. I ended up making the stew on a Sunday and served it to friends on Monday night. I also ended up using canned biscuits since I did not have time to make biscuits before our guests arrived. To say the least it got rave reviews from all my guests and I had to send home a copy of the recipe with each of them. I will make this recipe many more times, and will probably experiment with the veggies that I include.

Easy and delicious! What more can you ask. It's like a chicken pot pie without the crust. I added some diced celery and sliced mushrooms with the rest of the vegetables.I didn't make the biscuits though (Just used a can of refrigerator biscuits baked after the stew was finished). I like to serve this over a mound of mashed potatoes to make an even more substantial meal. Since this is a limited time recipe, you should make a copy of it even if you're just thinking of making it but if you do, you won't be disappointed.

Have made this several times. To save some time (mid-week after work), I substituted a couple of rotisserie chickens, instead of roasting my own, and used Pillsbury bisquits (which I baked separately so they wouldn't have soggy bottoms). Turned out great that way as well. My husband loves it, but asked me to leave out the pearl onions after the first time, and we both liked it better without them. I make extra to put in the freezer. Thanks Ina!!

Excellent and easy. For added convenience, I use the meat from a store-bought rotisserie chicken (Costco), boil up the bones and skin for stock with aromatic vegetables for stock. In place of the blanched carrots and frozen peas I use a 16 oz. package of frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, string beans and corn). It turns out perfectly every time and everyone loves it.

This dish tastes great - the only change that I do make is to eliminate the "salt." The first time I made it with the extra salt I thought it was much too salty. :)

I made Ina's receipe with a few changes. I had cooked chicken from my homemade chicken soup so I just cubed this. Also I added 3/4 tsp. of dried thyme. I also used refrigerator biscuits (regular size not the Grands)but still brushed them with egg wash. I made the biscuits separately until almost cooked and put them on top of the stew for the last 5 minutes. Tasted better than any pot pie type dish I have previously made.

I have tried several chicken stew with biscuit recipes and had finally settled on one that I thought was the best. That one has now been thrown out and replaced Ina's. We liked everything about this dish - great flavor, wonderful contrast in textures, and very filling.
The Best Chicken Stew Ever!

I just tried this recipe and was very impressed! I was looking for a chicken stew recipe where the sauce would be creamy as well as tasty--this is the one!! It was easy to follow. However, the next time I make it, I'll chop and cube ingredients a day ahead to save some time. I was surprised at how well the biscuits turned out (delicious)! I really enjoyed it. This was the best chicken stew I've ever made! Thanks Ina

i made this last night and it was really good. i made some slight alterations, i used boneless chicken breasts instead, and replaced the peas with 1 cup green beans and 1 cup corn, since no one in my family will eat peas, but this is a keeper. try it and you will not be disappointed. if there were ten stars, this would get it. very easy to make.

Super recipe! But I want to warn preparers of one potention problem. I decided to take the easy route and use canned refrigerated biscuits instead of making them from scratch. Baked the biscuits on top of the stew for the maximum time suggested on the biscuit can. Biscuits were done on top, but incredibly doughy on bottem. If you do this, suggest you bake the biscuits separately and place them on the stew after they're baked.
Worth every step

Chicken Stew with Bisquits

User: CATHY from Paradise, CA User Rating:
This recipe is delicious and my husband and I really enjoyed it. It was simple to prep and very easy to cook. I had 4 good sized boneless, skinless breasts in the freezer, so I substituted those for the split breasts and boiled them until they were done (about 40 minutes). Once cooled, I just continued to follow the directions. One suggestion; follow Ina's direction on using parchment or wax paper on the sheet pan. It will save you clean up time.

This recipe is awesome. I have made it several times for potlucks and family gatherings and always received rave reviews. Make everything the day ahead and all you have to do is just reheat the stew and top with the biscuit dough and warm in the oven. My only change is to add a little of Emeril's seasoning to the white sauce and cut back a little on the parsley for the biscuits.

Definately a keeper!

When the recipe called for 2 tsp. of salt, I made the mistake of using regular table salt instead of kosher salt which is what Ina uses. Needless to say, mine came out way too salty. I tried to salvage it and by gosh I think it turned out pretty darn good, considering my goof. Next time however, I am going to use canned biscuits because we love them just as much. So far, I have enjoyed all of Ina's dishes. I really enjoy her show.

This recipe is perfect comfort food. My girlfriend had a baby and I took it to her without the biscuits on top. She popped it in the oven herself and put the uncooked bicuits on top for a quick dinner. The recipe is time consuming because of the chicken prep. In the future, I might buy some rotisserie or pre-grilled chicken breasts from my local gourmet store to cut down on the time. I would also use much less salt as I found it to be too much and so did the rest of my family.
Excellent for several people!
